Abdominal Acupuncture
Your path to inner balance and outer beauty
Targeting key abdomen points to improve digestion, balance hormones, and weight management, promoting overall well-being.
At Healing Moments, we put your holistic wellness first. Through the time-proven practice of abdominal acupuncture, we target specific acupoints within the abdomen to stimulate energy pathways and restore balance throughout your body. The helpfulness of this ancient practice has long been recognised for addressing various health concerns, including digestive issues and gynaecological problems. Our commitment to your care means we personalise each treatment in ways that support your overall well-being.
How does abdominal acupuncture work?
The abdomen is viewed as a central hub for the body’s vital functions in the time-honoured practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In this discipline, it is seen as mirroring the overall health of the body, as well as housing crucial organs and energy pathways. Making the abdomen a focal point for massage, acupuncture and other therapeutic interventions can have far-reaching benefits for the whole of the person.
Unblocking the Dai Mai
The Dai Mai, or “Girdle Vessel,” is a unique energy channel encircling the body at the waist. It is considered fundamental in regulating several key bodily functions including blood circulation, digestion, and metabolism. At Healing Moments, we activate acupuncture points along the Dai Mai to enhance blood flow, alleviate stagnation, and improve overall vitality. This improved circulation supports better energy levels and can address symptoms such as fatigue and cold extremities.
Beyond boosting circulation, our approach to targeting the Dai Mai helps optimise digestive health by regulating digestive processes and enhancing nutrient absorption. This can relieve common issues such as bloating, constipation, and indigestion. Balancing the Dai Mai also supports metabolic functions, which can improve energy management and assist with weight control. Our abdominal acupuncture, centred on the Dai Mai, is designed to harmonise your body’s energy, fostering holistic health and well-being.
Hormones balanced
Abdominal acupuncture can significantly benefit the endocrine system, which regulates hormone production and balance in the body. Targeting specific points on the abdomen helps influence hormone levels, which can be especially good for individuals with irregular menstrual cycles. Our approach aims to normalise these cycles, leading to more consistent menstrual patterns and reduced discomfort.
What’s more, our abdominal acupuncture treatment addresses symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause. We work to promote hormonal equilibrium, alleviating common PMS symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and cramping. If you are experiencing menopause, our therapy may help mitigate hot flashes, night sweats, and emotional fluctuations. Overall, our personalised treatment supports your hormonal balance, contributing to improved reproductive health and enhanced comfort during periods of hormonal change.
Digestive health optimised
Our acupuncturist can also target key points on the abdomen to enhance digestive function. This helps the digestive organs and pathways to perform their vital processes, promoting more efficient nutrient processing and absorption. For those experiencing bloating, constipation, or indigestion, our acupuncture sessions aim to stimulate relevant points to improve gastrointestinal motility and alleviate discomfort. This targeted treatment helps address common digestive issues and supports overall digestive health.
Beyond its direct benefits for digestion, our abdominal acupuncture supports the body’s overall energy balance. A well-functioning digestive system can lead to increased energy levels and a more stable metabolism. Our holistic approach alleviates specific digestive symptoms and fosters overall well-being, contributing to a healthier digestive system and improved vitality. We address chronic digestive issues to enhance your overall health and elevate your quality of life.
Inflammation reduced
Abdominal acupuncture plays a role in modulating the body’s immune response which can help your body manage and reduce inflammation. Targeting specific points on the abdomen calms inflammatory pathways which helps balance immune function. This can reduce the production of inflammatory markers, providing relief from chronic inflammation and its associated symptoms.
Our bespoke method is particularly effective for conditions such as arthritis and other chronic inflammatory diseases. By reducing inflammation, we can help alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for those experiencing chronic inflammatory conditions.
