Digestive Health
Digestive Health
A Chinese Medicine Perspective
In Chinese medicine, digestion is central to overall health, energy, and emotional well-being. The digestive system (primarily governed by the Spleen and Stomach) is responsible not only for breaking down food, but for transforming nutrients into Qi and Blood that fuel every system in the body and promoting healthy water metabolism. When digestion is strong, we feel energized, clear-headed, and emotionally stable.
Digestive imbalances can arise from chronic stress, irregular eating habits, poor diet, overthinking, or illness. These disruptions may lead to symptoms such as bloating, gas, fatigue, loose stools, digestive discomfort, weight gain, edema, and foggy brain. Chinese Medicine and acupuncture work to strengthen digestive function, regulate gut motility, reduce inflammation, and improve how the body processes and utilizes nutrients.
