Gut and Digestive Health

Many people seek Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal treatment for symptoms of gut dysfunction

Digestive symptoms are really common, and often the reason that people book a treatment. Symptoms might include:

  • Gut pain

  • Bowel problems - loose bowel, diarrhoea, constipation, irregular movements

  • Nausea, poor appetite, cravings

  • Bloating, fluid retention

  • Wind and belching

  • Reflux, GERD, heart burn, bad breath

  • Trouble digesting certain food

  • Low energy after eating

  • Headaches or allergies after eating certain foods

  • Metabolism issues (fatigue, weakness, gaining weight etc)

  • Gut symptoms with the period

  • Inflammatory conditions that affect the gut

  • Gall Bladder problems

    Our sessions will often involve Acupuncture, Diet Therapy and Herbal Medicines to manage symptoms.

Our practitioners understand that making changes to your diet can be really important in healing your gut issue, but making these changes can be challenging. Our modern approach to Chinese Diet Therapy is simple, and begins with:

  • Eating a rainbow of coloured fresh vegetables, more often

  • Exploring whole food sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats in the diet

  • Exploring foods and food combinations that might ease symptoms from a Chinese Diet Therapy perspective

  • Understanding the impact that stress and the nervous system has on digestion
