Balance Acupuncture for Digestion Issues
Improve Digestion Naturally with Acupuncture
Digestive issues such as acid reflux, bloating, constipation, and IBS can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. At Balance Acupuncture, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to restore energy flow in the body, particularly balancing the Wood (Liver) and Earth (Stomach and spleen) elements, which are vital for digestive health. We can help alleviate discomfort and chronic digestive issues by addressing energy imbalances.
Common Symptoms of Digestive Issues
Digestive problems can affect the entire digestive tract, from the throat to the intestines. Symptoms include:
- Acid Reflux / GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
- IBS / IBD (irritable bowel syndrome / inflammatory bowel disease)
- Abdominal Pain & Bloating
- SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)
- Food Sensitivities & Poor Digestion
- Frequent Burping & Gas
- Chronic Diarrhea or Constipation
- Diverticulitis & Crohn’s Disease
- Colitis & Intestinal Inflammation
At Balance Acupuncture, we focus on healing the root cause of these digestion issues, not just masking the symptoms.
What Causes Digestive Issues in Chinese Medicine?
In Chinese Medicine, the balance between the Liver (Wood Element) and Stomach/Spleen (Earth Element) is critical for healthy digestion. When these energy systems are imbalanced, digestive issues arise:
Liver Energy Stagnation (Wood Attacking Earth)
When Liver Energy becomes blocked or stagnant, it can “attack” the Stomach, leading to symptoms like nausea, bloating, poor appetite, and acid reflux. Stress and emotional strain often contribute to this stagnation and worsen digestion issues.
Weak Spleen Energy
The Spleen is responsible for uplifting energy and supporting digestion. When Spleen energy is weak, digestion slows down, causing sluggishness, bloating, and fatigue. A weak Spleen can also make it harder for the body to absorb nutrients properly.
Aging & Energy Decline
As we age, the active energy of the Stomach and Kidneys naturally declines, leading to weaker digestion. This can make processing food and absorbing nutrients more difficult, contributing to chronic digestion issues over time.
Liver Energy Blockages
If Liver Energy cannot flow freely, it accumulates, leading to constipation, alternating diarrhea and constipation, or even emotional imbalances and sleep disturbances tied to digestion issues.
