Acupuncture For Indigestion
According to the Mayo clinic, indigestion is defined as 'discomfort in your upper abdomen.' While they list diet changes and medication as treatment options, Acupuncture and herbal medicine are incredibly effective for the treatment of indigestion. As a professional acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist I see and treat indigestion often. I can say that Acupuncture is an incredibly effective way to treat all digestive disorders.

Regulating the Menstrual Cycle with Acupuncture
Treating and regulating the menstrual cycle with acupuncture has a long history in China. It's one of the areas where acupuncture and Chinese Medicine thrive. Little is known, from a western perspective, on how this happens. However, there have been some preliminary studies. They show that acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle via endogenous regulatory systems including the sympathetic nervous system, endocrine, and neuroendocrine system. For your curiosity here is a study that was done showing the "Efficacy of acupuncture on menstrual frequency in women with polycystic ovary syndrome."

How Acupuncture can help with Stress Relief
Stress relief is one of the major benefactors of acupuncture. While there is an extensive (3000+ years) background showing how acupuncture can help with stress relief, new research is emerging showing us how this works from a biomedical approach as well.
This Study details the clinical effectiveness with various autonomic disorders including, but not limited to: blood pressure, heart rate, and even heart rate variability. Heart rate variability is a fascinating and recent discovery that tells us how well we are adapting to stress. This Harvard article explains how.
