TCM for digestive complaints in Winterthur Töss

This page is for people in Winterthur with digestive complaints such as bloating, a feeling of fullness, constipation, diarrhoea, or a medically diagnosed irritable bowel. Symptoms may vary with food, stress, sleep, or shift work.

Blood in the stool, unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting, fever, or severe or worsening abdominal pain require medical assessment.

The appointment covers your symptoms, eating pattern, appetite, bowel movements, medication, sleep, and any previous tests. Mrs Zhang then uses pulse and tongue diagnosis to plan the session.

Depending on the findings, care may include acupuncture, moxibustion, or tuina massage. Herbal therapy is discussed separately and with attention to medicines you already take. The TCM nutrition page describes the food-related guidance available at the practice.

Digestive symptoms can have many causes, and the plan is reviewed as your symptoms change. TCM can complement a medical diagnosis and treatment but is not a substitute for tests such as blood work or endoscopy when these are indicated. Continue prescribed medicine and medically required diets unless the responsible clinician advises otherwise.

If sleep and digestion affect each other, the sleep page explains how sleep concerns are assessed.
