Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine www.akashacenter.com "I initially came here through Groupon for acupuncture and was very pleased with the high of quality of care.

Our approach to evidenced-based integrative medicine is guided by both the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine and the ever growing technological advances of Western Medicine. Qi, my acupuncturist left me feeling like new after each session. The front desk was always friendly, they did not try to force any of their supplements on me. Clean and relaxing, try spending some time on their patio after any session for added bliss. I will be booking an appointment with the main doctor, De Mello and will update my review." - Yelp Review

A high percentage of individuals with addiction also present gastrointestinal conditions or symptoms.

The gut is responsible for producing and metabolizing serotonin, often referred to as the “feel-good” hormone.

When there are imbalances or dysfunctions in the gut, such as inflammation or inadequate production of serotonin, it can potentially contribute to decreased serotonin levels and impact mood regulation.

Serotonin is involved in regulating mood, emotions, and reward pathways in the brain, which are also associated with addictive behaviors.

In such cases, individuals may seek self-medication through addictive substances or behaviors as a mean to temporarily boost their serotonin levels and alleviate negative feelings.

This can create a cycle of self-medication and addictive behaviors as a way to cope with the diminished serotonin production and associated gut issues.
