Interesting study on how acupuncture improves depression by affecting gut microbes.
Gut-Brain Connection
Very cool study looking at acupuncture helping depression by improving gut microbes. Yes, this study is on rats, so you can’t apply it directly to humans. But acupuncture can help with symptoms of depression and does help digestive function , so it’s very interesting to see that one way it could do this is by improving gut microbes!
