In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we don’t just treat symptoms, we always address the root causee. Why? To fully support a patient’s health, we come up with a diagnosis based on the person’s constitutional patterns with the goal of bringing the person back to balance, homeostasis, and optimal function. A few tools used at On Point Acupuncture for addressing the deficiencies or excess patterns of the organs are: specific custom acupuncture points, customized herbal formulations, using heat therapy (such as moxibustion or infrared/ LED heat, and with Gua Sha and cupping therapy.
Symptoms of digestive organ deficiencies include lack of appetite, loose stools, diarrhea, bloating, low energy, fatigue or listlessness, pale and swollen tongue, and a thin, deep, or deficient pulse. If untreated, more severe symptoms could arise, such as immune suppression, coldness, excess damp conditions such as candida, excess phlegm, congestion, and more severe digestive complaints and fatigue.
