DIGESTIVE & WEIGHT
ISSUES
Digestive Issues
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is in your gut? Historically there has been a particular emphasis in Chinese Medicine on the impact of digestive system on the overall health. Back in the 12th century Doctor Li Dong-Yuan realized that just by treating gastrointestinal tract we can eliminate great deal of ailments including mental issues. It happened long before recent studies came out linking Autism and Parkinson’s disease to GI imbalances. Chinese cuisine developed around the idea of strengthening the Qi which is mainly produced by Spleen & Stomach. Needless to say, Chinese Medicine succeeds a great deal at treating any gastrointestinal disorder from gallstones, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome to leaky gut and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth syndrome. At Mulberry Leaf, we created a special protocol that eliminates substances that negatively affect your GI tract. We also provide nutritional advice along with herbal and acupuncture treatments to bring your GI tract back to tip-top shape.

Weight issues can originate from various underlying conditions. Whether you go through extreme emotional stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid insufficiency, or simply have poor dietary habits, we will work on your specific case not only to get rid of extra weight but also improve your overall health. Proper nutrition is a good place to start since just by eating right (not less) you can loose extra pounds. Acupuncture and electro-acupuncture can speed up metabolism and melt away fat. Auricular acupuncture can provide great help to control appetite and balance hormones. Chinese herbs work on underlying weaknesses of internal organs and bring the fire back to the “middle burner”.
