Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a Chinese treatment practice that involves inserting thin needles into strategic points on the body. These parts of the body are called the pressure points, and these needles help alleviate discomfort or pains in the body. Although acupuncture is commonly used to treat pain and stress, studies have shown that it may also treat gastrointestinal diseases like constipation or diverticulitis.
Garlic
Studies have shown that this vegetable is rich in antimicrobial and antiviral properties that help fight infection. There’s also evidence that garlic can improve symptoms of digestive problems like indigestion, constipation, and diverticulitis.
