Reducing Bloating and Abdominal Pain Through Pulse Diagnosis in London
Bloating and abdominal pain are common digestive complaints that disrupt daily life. Many people try dietary changes, over-the-counter remedies, or supplements, but symptoms often return when the root cause is unaddressed.
Pulse diagnosis and acupuncture provide a natural approach, revealing underlying digestive imbalances and helping the body restore smooth, comfortable digestion.
Understanding Bloating and Abdominal Pain
From a holistic perspective, bloating and abdominal discomfort reflect disharmony in the Stomach, Spleen, Liver, and Kidney systems, which regulate digestion, fluid balance, and energy flow.
Common patterns include:
Spleen Qi deficiency, causing poor digestion, fluid retention, and fatigue
Stomach Qi rebellion, leading to nausea, discomfort, or acid reflux
Liver Qi stagnation, often stress-related, slowing digestion
Dampness or phlegm accumulation, creating heaviness and bloating
Stomach heat, producing burning sensations and irritability
Identifying the correct pattern ensures that treatment addresses the cause of symptoms, not just temporary relief.
How Pulse Diagnosis Guides Treatment
Pulse diagnosis evaluates energy and organ function in real time, detecting subtle digestive imbalances.
Examples include:
Weak, soft pulses: Spleen Qi deficiency
Wiry pulses: Liver Qi stagnation from stress
Slippery pulses: Dampness or phlegm obstructing digestion
Rapid pulses: Stomach heat or inflammation
This personalised assessment allows acupuncture treatment to target the underlying cause of bloating and abdominal pain effectively.
