Digestive Health, Energy & Immunity

Digestive health plays a foundational role in overall wellbeing. Many people experience digestive symptoms such as bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, or fatigue, often exacerbated by stress, poor sleep, or irregular eating patterns. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine approach digestion as a central pillar of health. From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture may help regulate gut motility, improve circulation to digestive organs, reduce inflammation, and modulate the gut–brain axis. This helps explain its use in functional digestive disorders and stress-related gastrointestinal symptoms. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spleen and Stomach systems are responsible for digestion, energy production, and immune strength. When these systems are weakened or obstructed, symptoms such as bloating, low energy, poor appetite, and susceptibility to illness may arise. Treatment focuses on strengthening digestion, supporting energy (Qi), and restoring balance. Acupuncture is commonly used to support: Bloating, reflux, constipation, and diarrhoea; Fatigue and low energy; Stress-related digestive symptoms; Immune resilience and seasonal health. By improving digestive function and energy production, acupuncture supports both symptom relief and long-term vitality.
