Freedom from Colitis: A Patient's 14-Year Journey to Wellness
“This has given me a quality of life I would not have believed possible.”
— Ann Thompson, Retired Medical Secretary
At Cirencester acupuncture clinic, we’ve seen how chronic conditions like ulcerative colitis can severely impact quality of life. One of our most inspiring success stories is that of Ann Thompson, a retired medical secretary who battled colitis for over three decades—until she discovered the power of traditional herbal medicine.
Ann’s Story: From Lifelong Suffering to Lasting Relief
Ann was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just 19 years old. Despite decades of conventional treatment, her symptoms would flare up under stress, requiring stronger and more frequent medication over time.
At 55, after a particularly severe episode, she came across our clinic, The Imperial Herbary, and noticed that colitis was among the conditions we treat using Chinese herbal medicine. She decided to give it a try.
“I embarked on a course of treatment which resulted in a total cessation of symptoms. Now, at the age of 69, I have had 14 completely symptom-free years.”
Through a carefully tailored herbal formula and ongoing support, Ann experienced full remission—a level of healing she hadn’t thought possible. Her story is a testament to what can be achieved when the body is supported holistically.
