Hey Reader,

Do you get bloated a lot?

Does your digestion get wonky when you're stressed?

Do you get stomach cramps when you eat certain foods?

Do you deal with constipation, an incomplete feeling, or loose stools—or all of the above!—more often than you'd like to admit?

Having even just one of these symptoms points toward irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects around 15% of women.

More often than not, IBS is only diagnosed once you've been through all the tests and your doctor can't figure out what's the matter.

But from a Chinese medicine standpoint, it's no mystery why your digestion is off.

Living with IBS can feel like an unpredictable rollercoaster—but what if your symptoms were actually a powerful invitation to reconnect with your body?

In Chinese Medicine, the pattern we see most often in patients with IBS is Liver Qi stagnation which is overacting on the Earth organ-network of the Spleen and Stomach.

Translation? Your emotions are interfering with your ability to digest, not just food, but everything you encounter in life.

It means supporting the smooth flow of energy (qi) throughout your body, calming the nervous system, and restoring harmony between your physical body and emotions.

In this week’s blog post, we’re diving into the root causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and why a holistic approach (including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nervous system support) is key to real healing.

If you’re tired of managing symptoms and ready to understand what your body truly needs, this is for you.
