Acupuncture take to work for IBS about two weeks each week get two sessions.
The effects of acupuncture for IBS may be felt within 1 or 2 sessions, although it may take several sessions before the full effects become apparent. Depending on the individual and the severity of their symptoms, it may take up to 12 sessions to achieve lasting relief of IBS symptoms.
For every year of problem we suggest 4 treatments to heal the illness
Acupuncture with herbs, and sometimes massage, can be very helpful with IBS and other GI problems gradually. It is hard to predict how long it will take. Having 2-3 sessions per week will bring quicker results. I suggest you try it.
It will depend on how your body responds, but probably after the first appointment you will already feel some relief from the symptoms, but it probably will take a few treatments to feel all better.
There is no set amount of time for any issue, every body is different. But you are trying to affect healing in your body, so that doesn't happen over night. It may take a while and some dietary changes for you to see results. Your practitioner may also prescribe some herbal formulas to speed your results.
Unfortunately, each individual responds at their own pace. When it comes to acupuncture, some people respond quickly, some slowly, and some not at all. The only way to figure out which of these groups you might fall into is to try acupuncture and see what happens.
