TCM Diet Therapy
One of the fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to seek a balance between ones internal and external environments. To maintain this balance one must modify certain things, such as diet, as the seasons change.
Both Chinese medicinal herbs, as well as the things we eat, are said to possess specific energetic properties, such warming, cooling, drying, and moistening. This means that you can consume or avoid certain foods to compliment the climate and season you are living in.
As we observe the leaves turning colour, and feel the temperature dropping as the wind and rain pick up, there are changes we can make to ensure that we feel good physically and mentally over the winter.
