Scars or tattoos can be causing these mystery symptoms

The Hidden Impact of Scar Interference
Your nervous system is constantly sending messages between your brain and your body to control digestion, hormones, immune response, and more. When a scar—whether from a surgery, piercing, tattoo, or cyst removal—sits over key neurological or acupuncture points, it can block or scramble those signals.
In holistic and functional medicine, this is known as interference. And it doesn’t have to hurt or look bad to be a problem.
This is especially true for midline scars NO MATTER HOW OLD, like those from:
-
C-sections
-
Surgery
-
Appendectomy or gallbladder removal
-
Mole or cyst removals
-
Tattoos
-
Belly button piercings
Even the medical community acknowledges scar interference. Procedures like ablation intentionally create scar tissue to block irregular electrical signals in the heart—because we know scars can change how the nervous system communicates. In our naturopathic approach, we look for these sources of interference to help your body restore balance—without adding more trauma.
Symptoms That Can Be Caused by Scar Interference
Because your nervous system controls everything, blocked signals from scar tissue can result in a wide range of symptoms. Here are just some of the issues we've traced back to scars using muscle testing and holistic evaluation:
-
Bloating, reflux, or constipation
-
Hormone imbalance and irregular cycles
-
Thyroid issues
-
Chronic fatigue or low energy
-
Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or itching
-
Allergies or weakened immunity
-
Brain fog or mood swings
-
Trouble sleeping
-
Joint pain or inflammation
Scars might not seem like a big deal, but when they sit on nerve lines or acupuncture points, they can completely scramble your body’s ability to communicate with itself. That’s where a lot of mystery symptoms begin—and why so many people feel stuck despite doing everything “right.”
If you’re working with a naturopath, exploring alternative medicine, or searching for a functional medicine approach that doesn’t rely on guessing, this may be the missing piece you’ve been looking for. We specialize in helping people identify and address what’s really interfering with their body’s ability to heal—including the things that don’t show up in standard labs.
We can help you deactivate that interference and restore the communication between your nervous system and the rest of your body.
