Digestive Health (IBS & Bloating)

Traditional Chinese Medicine moxibustion therapy for Digestive health and wellness at Beijing Tong Ren Tang clinic in Dubai.

The TCM Perspective: Tending to Your "Middle Burner"

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the digestive system is referred to as the "Middle Jiao" or "Middle Burner." It acts like a cauldron that "cooks" food to extract $Qi$ (energy). When this fire is weak, or when the "dampness" of the environment and diet clogs the system, you experience the symptoms of IBS, persistent bloating, and irregular bowel movements.

Instead of just managing symptoms, our goal is to strengthen your digestive fire and ensure the smooth flow of energy through your gut.

Common Digestive Patterns We Treat

Spleen $Qi$ Deficiency: Characterized by chronic bloating, loose stools, and feeling heavy or tired after eating.
Liver-Stomach Disharmony (Stress-IBS): Digestive flare ups triggered by stress, anxiety, or frustration, often manifesting as cramping and alternating constipation/diarrhea.
Damp Heat in the Intestines: Urgent bowel movements, a feeling of "repletion" or fullness, and a sticky coating on the tongue.
Food Stagnation: Acute bloating, acid reflux, and a sensation that food is "sitting" in the stomach for too long.

Our Integrated Solutions

1. Personalized Herbal Prescriptions

We use medical grade herbs (such as Chen Pi / Tangerine Peel and Fu Ling / Poria) to:

Transform Dampness: Effectively "dry out" the internal moisture that causes bloating and heavy limbs.
Regulate $Qi$ : Smooth out the spasmodic movements of the colon associated with IBS pain.
Strengthen the Spleen: Build your long-term digestive capacity so you can enjoy food without fear of discomfort.

2. Digestive Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a powerful tool for neurological gut health. By stimulating points on the stomach and spleen meridians, we help:

Calm the "Enteric Nervous System" (the brain in your gut).
Reduce visceral hypersensitivity (the reason some people feel pain from even small amounts of gas).
Promote regular peristalsis to alleviate constipation.

3. Abdominal Tuina & Moxibustion

Tuina: A specialized medical massage on the abdomen to physically move stagnation and relieve "knots" of tension.
Moxibustion: Applying gentle heat to the "Sea of $Qi$ " (the lower abdomen) to warm the digestive fire, especially effective for those who suffer from "cold" IBS (triggered by cold drinks or raw salads).
