The digestive organ system is more than just the stomach and intestines. In both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine, digestion involves multiple organs working together. In TCM, the Spleen is the cornerstone of digestion, responsible for transforming food into energy (Qi) and transporting nutrients throughout the body.
The Stomach, Liver, Gallbladder, and Large Intestine also play key roles in breaking down food, regulating bile flow, and eliminating waste. When any of these organs become imbalanced, symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and indigestion arise. Treatments at Phases Acupuncture target these imbalances with acupuncture and dietary therapy tailored to your constitution.
