Digestion provides nourishment for the whole body and is fundamental to good health including immune and hormone health. Abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, heartburn, diarrhoea constipation are all warning signs that your digestive system is out of balance.
Eating habits, low-quality food along with our busy lifestyle often affect our digestion and gut health. It is not only important to consider what you eat, but also to look at how you eat, such as eating lunch at your desk or on the go and whether your intestines are actually absorbing all the nutrients you are eating.
Chinese medicine views the health of the digestive system as the root of long term health. It assesses if it is working correctly on whether the ‘digestive fire’ is balanced; the energetic state that allows correct digestion and absorption of foods. Treatment focuses on not only alleviating your symptoms but also addressing the root cause - leaving you feeling strong, resilient and healthy.

How I can acupuncture help?
Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture treatments can improve digestive function through supporting the Spleen and Stomach meridians. From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture supports the Vagus nerve and regulation of the Gut – Brain axis.
Acupuncture also calms the central nervous system which can have a beneficial effect on digestion.
