Acupuncture and Digestion

Do you regularly suffer from bloating, constipation, or discomfort after meals? Acupuncture can be a great ally in improving your digestive well-being. From a Chinese medicine perspective, digestion isn’t limited to the stomach: it also involves the Spleen, Liver, and Intestines, all connected by meridians through which vital energy (the famous “Qi”) flows.


During a session focused on digestive issues, fine needles are inserted into specific points, for example on the limbs or abdomen. The goal is to remove energy blockages, support digestive function, and ease any inflammation. Many patients notice a reduction in symptoms, such as more regular bowel movements or less bloating.


Another major benefit of acupuncture for digestion is its relaxing effect. Stress often makes gastric and intestinal problems worse. By helping you release tension, acupuncture contributes to calming the nervous system, which positively impacts digestion.


For long-lasting results, acupuncture may be combined with appropriate dietary advice and small adjustments to your daily routine. Ultimately, this natural approach not only relieves digestive discomfort but also cares for your body and mind in a holistic way.
