In China acupuncture has been given for difficult digestion and discomfort for centuries. Investigative studies now inform us acupuncture is working to influence the central nervous system, the endocrine and immune systems (including the gut-brain axis) to impact digestive health.

Acupuncture is cumulative, treatment and outcomes build over time, a course of treatments is required to make meaningful changes.
Often factors such as lifestyle and diet need some attention and when changes are made and treatments are taken regularly, the benefits of acupuncture are generally found over three to six months.
In Chinese medicine, the metaphor for digestion is of a fire in the belly. When this fire is strong there is good gut health. Because the Chinese believe that a healthy digestion is cornerstone to all other good health, many useful and varied treatments have been developed to support the digestive fire.
We now know when were working with the digestive fire we are also assessing:
Acupuncturists do this by checking your body’s signs and symptoms alongside your lifestyle and diet, to see how this fire is best supported.
Specific acupuncture or moxibustion treatments are utalised to rectify what might be too much fire, burning the gut and leading to symptoms such as heartburn, reflux, constipation or excessive hunger. Alternatively a digestive fire may need improving if it is too low, in which case, symptoms such as bloating, pain, diarrhea or poor appetite tend to occur.
