Normally, digestive qi (energy) flows downward. Heartburn, acid reflux and gastric reflux diseases are symptoms of an abnormal flow of digestive qi. We call this condition Rebellious Stomach Qi. It means that the digestive energy is backing upward instead of flowing downward. In chronic conditions, Rebellious Qi is usually the consequence of weak Digestive Qi, which in itself can have several root causes, which often occur in combination.
Modern medicine treats these conditions by supressing or neutralizing stomach acids. Though this can often relieve symptoms, it does not address the following underying causes:
Weak digestive Qi (insufficiant digestive enzymes and acids or mis-timed secretion of digestive fluids) caused by:
An offense to the digestion such as irregular eating habits, overeating, or eating difficult to digest foods
An event, memory or thought that cannot, figuratively, be stomached
Anger or frustration injuring the digestion (Liver Invades Stomach)
Impaired flow due to blockage or constraint in the intestines (blocked
Qi)
Constraint of Qi in the chest due to loss or fear of loss

The Truth About the Colon Cleanse
Both Western medicine and Chinese medicine agree that colon cleansing is not necessary and potentially harmful. The colon is a naturally self cleaning organ. Despite claims made by colon cleansing practitioners, there are no build ups of plaque in the intestines. Doctors doing autopsies never find these supposed toxins in the intestines. Virtually all illness attributed to toxic accumulations in the digestive system have other, easily explainable causes according to Chinese medicine. Enemas have never been a part of Chinese medicine. Even Western doctors agree that over use of colon cleansing enemas can disrupt the natural environment in the intestines. If habitual constipation is a problem there are many highly effective solutions using proper diagnosis and treatment with Chinese herbs and acupuncture.
