Digestive Health

Book an Appointment

Digestive health is a cornerstone of overall wellbeing in Chinese Medicine. When the digestive system is out of balance, it can affect everything from energy levels and mood to skin health and immunity. Acupuncture offers gentle, natural support to restore gut function and reduce inflammation, bloating, and discomfort.

How acupuncture helps

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, digestive issues are often related to imbalances in the Spleen and Stomach systems, or disruptions in the Liver’s role in regulating digestion. Acupuncture helps restore harmony between these organs, reduce inflammation, and strengthen digestive function. It can also calm the gut-brain axis by regulating the nervous system, reducing stress-induced symptoms like IBS and reflux.

Whether you’re experiencing chronic symptoms or recovering from acute illness, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to help you feel more comfortable, nourished, and grounded.
