The gut-brain connection is one of the fastest-growing areas of neuroscience research. And what researchers are finding keeps pointing back to something TCM has always known.

When your gut microbiome is disrupted, serotonin production drops. When serotonin drops, mood, sleep, and anxiety are all affected.

Addressing both gut health and mental health together gets closer to the root than treating either in isolation.

Acupuncture works on the enteric nervous system — the network of neurons lining the gut — as well as on the brain and the vagus nerve connecting them. Patients who come in for digestive issues often notice their mood improving. Patients who come in for anxiety often notice their digestion settling.

This is the same system responding to the same treatment.
