How Can Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Help Digestive Issues?
From a Chinese medicine perspective, digestion is at the centre of life. It’s responsible for breaking down and absorbing the nutrients our cells and body needs to continue living. To promote health and longevity, good digestive function is crucial. When it goes wrong it can affect us in many ways other than just an upset stomach, including mental/emotional upsets, impaired recovery, chronic inflammation, impaired immunity and altered hormone regulation. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to relieve digestive problems and help promote healthy digestion.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body to treat diverse health concerns. It stimulates nerves, muscles and connective tissue, boosting circulation and triggering the body’s natural healing processes.
When it comes to gastrointestinal disorders, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to regulate gut motility, promoting smoother and more efficient digestive processes.
Herbal Teas
Our herbal remedies can help complement acupuncture, especially for complex or chronic conditions. Herbs are in granule form and tailored to individual needs. We may recommend an herbal formula to enhance your overall healing process.
