Bloating, discomfort, irregular digestion, and reactions to everyday foods can affect how you feel all day long. Acupuncture, NAET, and herbal medicine work together to restore balance at the center of your health.
Understanding digestion
Chinese medicine calls the Stomach and Spleen the center of the body. Like good soil, they turn food into the Qi and blood that nourish every cell, organ, gland, tissue, bone, and muscle. When the center is strong, energy, sleep, and mood all have a steady source.
Think of digestion as a pot over a gentle fire. The Stomach is the pot, and the Spleen is the fire beneath it. When the fire is weak, food sits heavy and you feel bloated and tired. When stress tightens the flow of Qi, it presses on the center, and digestion becomes uneasy.
Food reactions add another layer. When the body treats an everyday food as a threat, digestion is disturbed again and again. Yuanling looks at all of these together.
“Yuanling is treating me for… digestive issues related to food allergies that I have had since young. Through her NAET treatments combined with acupuncture, I have noticed my digestion getting stronger…”Lena, patient
One patient's experience. Results vary from person to person.
What we treat
The same symptom can come from different patterns. Yuanling looks for what is behind your digestive trouble, and treats from there.
Cramping, bloating, and bowel habits that swing between loose and constipated, often worse with stress. Treatment calms the gut and the nervous system together.
Fullness, gas, and heaviness after meals, and low energy after eating. Acupuncture and herbs help strengthen the center so food is digested more easily.
A burning feeling or acid rising after meals or at night. In Chinese medicine, Stomach Qi should flow downward. Treatment helps restore that natural direction.
Irregular bowel habits that leave you uncomfortable. Yuanling looks at your pattern, along with your eating habits and daily rhythm.
Reactions to everyday foods such as dairy, wheat, or sugar. NAET helps the body stop treating these foods as a threat.
An unsettled stomach or little interest in food, including during pregnancy or medical treatment, alongside the care from your doctor.
Acupuncture, NAET, and herbal medicine work alongside your medical care. They are not a replacement for it. Please see your doctor first if you have blood in your stool or black stools, weight loss you cannot explain, trouble swallowing, vomiting that will not stop, or severe abdominal pain. If you have celiac disease or a diagnosed food allergy, keep following your doctor's guidance.
How we help
Calms the nervous system and restores the flow of Qi through the center, easing cramping, bloating, and the stress that so often settles in the stomach.
Helps the body stop viewing everyday foods as a threat. Treatment usually begins with the 15 basic food groups, the foundation of NAET healing.
A custom formula strengthens the center day by day, giving your digestion steady support between visits.
Related conditions
Because the whole body is connected, digestive trouble rarely travels alone. These concerns often come in alongside it.
Food and environmental sensitivities, often treated with NAET.
Allergies and sinus →Stress often shows up in the stomach, and a calm nervous system helps digestion.
Stress, anxiety, and sleep →Good digestion builds the Qi and blood a woman's health depends on.
Fertility and women's health →Many patients come to us for IBS. Because stress and digestion are so closely linked, acupuncture treats both at once. Results vary from person to person. At your first visit, Yuanling will tell you what she thinks treatment can do for you.
No. NAET muscle testing checks your body's energy response to a food. It is not a medical allergy test and does not diagnose celiac disease or food allergies. If you have a diagnosed allergy or celiac disease, keep following your doctor's guidance.
Small changes often help. Yuanling gives direction on eating habits that suit your pattern, such as warm, cooked foods and regular meal times. After NAET treatments, she may ask you to avoid a treated food for a short time.
If your symptoms are new, severe, or include any warning signs, such as blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, or trouble swallowing, please see your doctor first. Acupuncture works well alongside the care you receive from your doctor.
It varies, depending on how long you have had symptoms, how severe they are, and how your body responds. Working through the basic food groups with NAET takes a series of visits. Yuanling will talk through a plan with you at your first visit.
Many plans cover acupuncture, and coverage can depend on the condition and the treatment. We are in-network with BlueCross BlueShield, Mass General Brigham Health Plan, Aetna, and Harvard Pilgrim, and we verify your benefits before your visit. See pricing and insurance for details.
At your first visit, Yuanling will listen, evaluate your pattern, and begin your first treatment. Then she will suggest a plan that fits you.
