Often during treatment, while my client is resting with the acupuncture needles, we start to hear gurgling sounds coming from the stomach.
It might sound strange - but this is music to my ears ☺️
Why do these digestive sounds matter?
Because they’re a sign that something positive is happening in the body.
For many people, the nervous system is constantly on high alert in everyday life - especially under ongoing stress, and even more so during times of war.
When the body is in this state, functions like digestion and rest are no longer deemed a top priority by the nervous system.
This chronic stress is at the root of many of the issues we deal with. It can show up as digestive problems, but also as poor sleep, pain, fatigue, and many other uncomfortable symptoms.
One of my main goals in treatment is to help the body shift out of this heightened state and restore healthy flow between its systems.
So when stomach gurgling begins during a session, it tells me that a positive change is starting - the nervous system is relaxing, and there is better flow to the digestive system, the lungs, and the muscles.
