Endorphins also affect hormonal and digestive system. Therefore, acupuncture is helpful for re-balancing your organ systems, which run too fast or too low.

Acupuncturist then check your tongue to find out puffiness, peeling or cracks on your stomach area. If there is thick white or suspicious yellow coating on your tongue, it is the indication of troublesome coldness or heat in the stomach.
