In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the gut is seen as central to overall vitality. Digestive function influences how energy is produced, how nutrients are absorbed, and how waste is eliminated. When this system is sluggish, overactive, or inflamed, symptoms appear in various ways, fatigue, poor skin, mood imbalances, and discomfort after eating.

Acupuncture works by:

• Regulating gut motility and function

• Reducing inflammation in the digestive tract

• Supporting the gut-brain axis

• Calming the nervous system to reduce stress-related digestive issues

• Strengthening the stomach and spleen systems (TCM perspective)

• Improving nutrient absorption and elimination

We help patients with a wide range of digestive issues, including:

• Bloating and gas

• Constipation or diarrhoea

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Acid reflux or heartburn

• Nausea and poor appetite

• Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (as part of a wider care plan)

• Food sensitivities or intolerances

• Digestive weakness from stress

• Post-antibiotic recovery and gut repair

• Fatigue related to poor nutrient absorption

Each treatment plan is tailored to the root causes of your symptoms and may include dietary or lifestyle guidance.

Your immune system is your body’s defense against infections, inflammation, and chronic illness. Acupuncture strengthens immunity by supporting your body’s ability to regulate stress, improve circulation, and balance immune responses.

Key immune benefits include:

• Reduced frequency and severity of colds and flu

• Improved resilience during seasonal changes

• Faster recovery from illness

• Balanced inflammatory response

• Regulation of overactive immune reactions (autoimmune tendencies)

• Support after long illness or burnout

• Enhanced energy and recovery for chronically fatigued individuals

Acupuncture also supports better sleep, nervous system balance, and digestion — all key components of a strong immune system.

Around 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. A healthy digestive tract means more effective immune responses and fewer chronic symptoms. Our treatments aim to improve the entire digestive-immune axis and support your health holistically.

Patients who previously dealt with long-term discomfort, frequent illness, or unexplained fatigue often find renewed energy, regular digestion, and improved quality of life through acupuncture.

During your first appointment, we’ll ask about your full health picture, from diet and energy to sleep, stress, and elimination. Based on this, we’ll develop a plan to restore digestive and immune balance, using acupuncture, cupping (if needed), and personalised guidance.

Our team will always check in on how your body responds and adjust your care plan accordingly.
