Acupuncture in London for Gallstones: Pulse Diagnosis and Natural Support for Biliary Health

Gallstones can silently disrupt life, causing digestive discomfort, bloating, and occasional pain in the upper abdomen. For many Londoners, standard treatment often focuses on surgery or medications that address the symptoms but not the underlying imbalance. Acupuncture, guided by advanced pulse diagnosis, offers a holistic approach to support biliary health naturally and restore digestive balance.

Why Gallstones Develop

Gallstones form when bile — the digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder — becomes imbalanced. Contributing factors may include:

  • Poor bile flow leading to stagnation

  • High-fat or processed diets

  • Stress and nervous system imbalances

  • Liver and Spleen dysfunction in Chinese medicine

Without addressing these underlying patterns, gallstones can recur even after medical interventions, leaving patients frustrated by persistent digestive issues.

How Pulse Diagnosis Guides Treatment

Pulse diagnosis provides a window into the internal systems that contribute to gallstone formation. George reads over 25 pulse qualities to detect:

  • Liver stagnation affecting bile flow

  • Heat or dampness creating inflammation and sluggish digestion

  • Qi deficiency impacting energy and nutrient assimilation

  • Stress-related patterns disrupting the digestive and nervous systems

This allows a personalised treatment plan that targets the root causes rather than only alleviating symptoms.

Acupuncture for Gallstones and Digestive Support

Once imbalances are identified, acupuncture helps by:

  • Stimulating bile flow to prevent stagnation

  • Reducing inflammation in the liver and gallbladder

  • Strengthening digestion and nutrient absorption

  • Supporting liver and Spleen systems for overall balance

  • Calming stress that exacerbates digestive dysfunction

Patients often notice improved digestion, reduced bloating, and more stable energy levels after a series of targeted sessions.


A 45-year-old London professional experienced frequent upper abdominal discomfort and bloating after meals. Imaging revealed small gallstones, but surgery was not immediately necessary. Pulse diagnosis showed Liver Qi stagnation and damp-heat accumulation in the digestive system. George’s acupuncture plan focused on moving Qi, clearing heat, and supporting digestion. Within a few weeks, the patient reported less post-meal discomfort, improved digestion, and greater energy — a natural complement to conventional care.


Gallstones do not have to control your digestive health. Acupuncture and pulse diagnosis in London address the root imbalances behind biliary dysfunction, offering a natural, non-invasive path to better liver and gallbladder health.
