How Acupuncture Supports Digestion
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Spleen and Stomach systems are central to the transformation of food into energy. When these systems are weakened by stress, irregular eating, or overthinking, digestion can become sluggish or imbalanced. Acupuncture strengthens these systems, regulates the movement of qi, and supports the body’s ability to process and absorb nutrients effectively.
Modern research also suggests that acupuncture can regulate gut motility, reduce inflammation, and ease stress-related digestive symptoms by calming the nervous system.
