Traditional Chinese medicine Treatments for digestive disorders
Acupuncture
Targeted acupuncture helps regulate the digestive system, ease bloating, reflux, constipation, and IBS-related symptoms. Treatments restore balance in the Spleen and Stomach meridians to improve nutrient absorption and reduce stress-related digestive issues.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal formulas are prescribed to strengthen digestion, harmonise the gut, and reduce inflammation. Herbs are selected to suit your unique pattern — helping relieve discomfort, support regularity, and promote long-term digestive balance.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Gentle abdominal and back massage techniques help release tension, stimulate digestive function, and improve circulation through the core. These therapies complement acupuncture to restore natural digestive rhythm.
Lifestyle & Diet Support
Practical guidance drawn from Chinese medicine principles — aligning your meals, rest, and emotional wellbeing with your digestive rhythm. Learn how specific foods, habits, and timing can transform gut function and overall vitality.
Pulse Diagnosis
Adrian’s refined pulse diagnosis detects underlying digestive imbalances, such as heat, dampness, or deficiency. This insight allows every treatment and herbal prescription to be tailored precisely to your body’s needs.
How TCM Approaches Digestive System Disorders
TCM sees digestive disorders as a sign of imbalance — often connected to stress, diet, or lifestyle. Rather than mask symptoms, our treatments aim to restore your natural digestive flow and vitality.
Common conditions we help with:
-
Indigestion: Upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, bloating.
-
Constipation: Infrequent or difficult bowel motions.
-
Diarrhoea: Loose or watery stools.
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Chronic abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea.
Why Digestive Issues Arise
(According to TCM wisdom)
Many digestive problems start with:
-
Improper diet: Irregular meals, processed foods, or eating in a rush.
-
Stress: Weakens the stomach and spleen, disrupting digestion.
-
Environmental toxins: Exposure to pollutants or chemicals.
-
Lack of exercise: Movement supports healthy digestion.

Adrian’s approach blends multiple evidence-based options to restore gut harmony:
-
Diet and lifestyle guidance: Practical, achievable changes to daily routines.
-
Individualised herbal medicine: Targeted herbs for your symptoms — always prescribed uniquely for you.
-
Expert acupuncture: Stimulates natural healing, calms gut distress, and regulates digestive processes.
-

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture: An Introduction to Traditional Healing Practices
Chinese medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body’s natural healing ability. It is based on the concept of qi (pronounced chee) and blood, which is the life force energy that flows through the body. According to Chinese medicine, illness and disease occur when qi and blood is blocked or unbalanced. Chinese medicine uses various techniques to restore the balance and flow of qi and blood including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and exercise.
