How Acupuncture Supports Digestive Health
In traditional Chinese medicine, digestive health is central to overall wellness. Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to regulate energy (Qi), reduce inflammation, and improve circulation—all essential for digestive function. By addressing the root causes of discomfort rather than masking symptoms, acupuncture offers a natural, effective approach to maintaining digestive health and improving your quality of life.
