Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a critical component of Chinese medicine. It involves strategically inserting thin needles into different body parts to lessen pain, release stress, and improve blood flow. There are also claims that acupuncture can treat constipation, indigestion, nausea, and vomiting.
Although there is no solid research on the effects of acupuncture on patients with diverticulitis, many patients testified that this ancient method is effective in relieving abdominal pain and other symptoms. In Asia, acupuncture is one of the most popular home remedies for diverticulitis.
A study conducted in 2016 recognized the effectiveness of acupuncture as a medical treatment for chronic pain. In addition, the comparative study showed that acupuncture is more effective in alleviating pain than other treatments.
However, proper training and instruments are needed to execute an acupuncture session successfully.
