Hippocrates’ timeless wisdom that “All disease begins in the gut” still holds weight today, especially as modern science is starting to uncover the intricate connection between the gut and overall health. Disruptions in the gut microbiota can play a significant role in the onset of various health issues, including heart disease, immune and autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, and metabolic disorders.
Whether you’re struggling with digestive, autoimmune, or other chronic conditions, our gut health services are designed to restore balance to the gut bacteria, aleviate symptoms and enhance digestion.
At Functional Acupuncture Melbourne, we integrate Chinese medicine healing methods with advanced gastrointestinal testing, along with targeted nutritional therapeutics and dietary strategies to provide comprehensive care for various digestive complaints.
We use acupuncture to stimulate specific points to regulate gut movement, ease pain and inflammation, and improve nutrient absorption. Additionally, we prescribe customised herbal medicine formulas and evidence-based supplements to reduce bloating, manage constipation or diarrhea and promote gut healing.
Many of our patients find acupuncture sessions to be deeply calming and most experience improvements in symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, and constipation.
