ChatGPT Spills: Digestive Drama, Sorted

What’s another big reason people turn to acupuncture?
According to ChatGPT, it’s digestive issues — things like reflux, nausea, constipation, and IBS. And from what I see in clinic, that checks out.

The TCM Take

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Spleen and Stomach are the power duo behind digestion and gut health. When the Spleen is weakened by stress, poor diet, or even constant overthinking, it can’t properly transform food and fluids. This creates an accumulation we call dampness and stagnation, which show up as bloating, sluggish digestion, and overall discomfort.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture supports digestion by tonifying the Spleen, harmonising the Stomach, and restoring the smooth flow of qi through what we call the middle jiao.

For you, that can mean less bloating, better digestion, more energy, and improved use of the nutrients you’re eating.
