💥 IBS is one of those conditions that sits in the grey zone, not dangerous, but disruptive enough to chip away at your daily quality of life.
From a Western perspective, IBS links back to how the brain and gut talk to each other. Stress, food triggers, and gut sensitivity all play a role.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, it’s often about how well qì is flowing through your digestive system.
Stress? That can disrupt the Liver energy, which in turn unsettles the Spleen and Stomach. Result? Bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, and that feeling like your gut has a mind of its own 😣😵💫
One simple home remedy? Fennel tea. 🌿
It cans ease discomfort and helps soothe bloating. A cup after meals can be surprisingly effective!
Pair that with mindful eating (slowing down, chewing well, and deep breathing before you eat) and your digestion will thank you 💛
For longer-term shifts, acupuncture can help calm the gut-brain connection and restore balance to your digestive system 🔥
