Request a Free CallbackIrritable bowel syndrome, chronic bloating, constipation, acid reflux, and Crohn's disease affect millions of Americans — and many patients in MetroWest Orlando arrive at Spectrum WellCare after being told for years that "nothing is wrong" despite significant daily discomfort.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views digestion as the foundation of all health. The Spleen and Stomach systems in TCM govern digestion, nutrient absorption, and the transformation of food into Qi and Blood. When these systems are disrupted — by stress, diet, emotional tension, or constitutional weakness — the result is the full range of digestive disorders that conventional medicine often struggles to treat effectively.
The gut-brain connection is well established in Western science, and it maps directly onto TCM's understanding of the relationship between the Liver (governing emotions and stress response) and the Spleen-Stomach (governing digestion). Liver Qi stagnation invading the Spleen is one of the most common patterns Dr. Purohit treats — and it explains why so many patients with IBS also experience anxiety, and why stress reliably worsens their digestive symptoms.
A personalized Chinese herbal medicine plan may be considered for digestive concerns after reviewing symptoms, medical history, medications and possible interactions. Response and timing vary.
