In TCM, digestive problems are often seen as signs of disturbed Qi circulation or a weakness of the "Center" (Spleen and Stomach). Causes frequently include poor diet, stress, or emotional burdens that disrupt the harmonious flow of Qi.
Yes. Acupuncture calms the digestive system, promotes gastrointestinal motility, and harmonizes the autonomic nervous system. It is particularly effective for bloating, nausea, or nervous IBS symptoms.
Herbs such as Chen Pi or Mu Xiang support Qi circulation, have a de-bloating effect, and strengthen the Center. The formulas are individually adjusted to expel dampness or direct Stomach-Qi downwards again.
Absolutely. Stress and suppressed emotions disturb Liver function, which can lead to Qi stagnation in the digestive system. TCM therefore always treats digestive disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) holistically, including psychological aspects.
Regular warm meals, little raw food, and stress management are crucial. While acute nausea responds quickly, for chronic conditions or IBS we recommend a course of treatment over 2–4 weeks for sustainable harmonization.
