You know the sayings, “trust your gut,” “gut-instinct,” and “having a gut reaction?” There is something to these.

Eastern medicine naturally regulates your digestion which is thought of as your second brain. Your “Qi”, your life-force, begins in your gut. When you consume nourishing food, it is transformed into the vital energy you need to be transported out to all of your organs. Because of this, your immune system also gets a major boost! A healthy gut means getting sick less!

In Chinese medicine, all Qi originates in your gut. Regulated by the Spleen and Stomach systems, acupuncture and herbal remedies help to boost this system to regulate the way energy is transformed and transported to other areas of your body. If your Spleen and Stomach systems are off in any way, it can lead to a domino effect of other imbalances in the body. We are almost always treating your gut no matter what you’re coming in for because of the necessity of this system working well.

If you suffer from gas, bloating, IBS, “nervous tummy”, food allergies, loose stools or diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, or belching, acupuncture and herbal therapy can help.
