Appendix Function in Digestive System
The appendix function in digestive system has long been debated. While traditionally considered vestigial, modern science reveals that it may serve as a safe house for gut bacteria, supporting microbiome resilience after infections or antibiotic use.
From a TCM perspective, gut health and immunity are interlinked. Disorders of the appendix often reflect damp-heat or stagnation in the lower abdomen, treatable with acupuncture and herbs.
To maintain healthy gut flora and prevent appendiceal issues, seek support from Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic for individualized digestive care strategies.
