Digestion and the immune response share a lot of wiring with the nervous system, which is why stress so often shows up as a stomach that will not settle or a sinus that will not clear. Acupuncture approaches both through regulation: calming an over‑reactive gut, easing spasm and reflux, and moderating the allergic response.
Patients come for irritable bowel syndrome, chronic bloating and constipation, nausea and morning sickness, acid reflux, and for seasonal allergies, sinus congestion and mild asthma that keep coming back despite medication.
How we approach it
- Acupuncture targeted to digestive and respiratory regulation
- Food therapy and Chinese herbal formulas matched to your pattern
- Abdominal and back cupping for spasm and tension
- Seasonal courses of treatment ahead of allergy season
- Coordination with your gastroenterologist or allergist where you are under their care
What to expect
Digestive symptoms often change within the first two to four sessions; longer‑standing patterns and allergies are treated over a season. Keep taking any prescribed medication; changes to it are made by your prescribing provider, not by us.
