Chinese View of Health

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) the body is looked at in a different way than in Western Medicine. An example would be; a Westerner would look at the capital of Michigan as Lansing, where in TCM the capital would be Lansing plus all the roads leading to the city of Lansing.

In Western medical terms, each organ of the body is looked at how it functions independently of other organs. In TCM, all the organs work together. If there is a deficiency from one organ or Chi, the others are affected.

Chi (pronounced chee) is the energy that makes up your body. Toxins can create blockage of chi energy causing an imbalance in your health. Chinese Medicine is very complicated and has been studied for over 2000 years. Tao masters used to live in the mountains off the land using and studying the plants that grew around them.

I have tried to include many links to websites where you can find information to help you with your diet and health. I am teaching myself about Chinese Medicine with hopes that Western Medicine will accept and study this gift from the Chinese.

Spring

Eat more sweet food than sour to nourish the spleen qi. Eat foods that are light and easy to digest.

Summer

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, like watermelon, tomato, cucumber, celery. Make Mung bean soup to clear away excess heat.

Autumn

Have more juicy and slightly richer foods like pears, orange, apple. Make thicker vegetable or mung bean soup with a little meat.

Winter

This is the time to eat food that is solid, substantial, warming, like root vegetables and nuts.

Please follow your doctors advice about your medical concerns and learn how to take the herbs if you decide take them. They are not taken like food supplements or vitamins. They are only taken as needed and then stopped.
