Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine for Digestive Health

Digestion at the centre of health

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, digestion is the foundation of your energy: it is how food becomes the Qi and blood that nourish the whole body. When digestion is unsettled, it can affect energy, sleep, mood and immunity too. Stress plays a big part, and many people notice their gut is the first place tension shows up.

Your practitioner will ask about your appetite, eating habits, bowel movements, energy and stress, and treat the pattern behind your symptoms rather than only the symptoms themselves.

People come to us for support with

• Bloating and gas
• Indigestion and reflux
• IBS-type symptoms: cramping, constipation or loose stools
• Nausea and low appetite
• A sensitive stomach that flares with stress
• Sluggish digestion after illness, surgery or medication

How we can help

Acupuncture

Acupuncture aims to support healthy digestion and calm the stress response that can unsettle the gut. Your practitioner may also share simple food and eating suggestions from Chinese medicine. About acupuncture
