“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
– Hippocrates circa 431 B.C.

Traditional Chinese Medicine primarily employs food as a part as a corrective modality essential to your self. Why? Since we are especially absorbed with food. Our stomach will automatically let us know via hunger sensations, when to eat. For most of us, unless we are in a state of disequilibrium, will consume 1-6 times per day unless food is not obtainable. Since we eat, its important to consider what we are eating due to the fact food has a major influence on the health of our bodies. If we drink pop, alcohol, eat desserts, cheese, candy, red meat, bread, processed foods, etc. Subsequently, speculate what comes to pass with the the body? It clogs up and gains weight and we get sick. If we eat vegetables, fruit, water, fish, then what happens? We share our emotions, lose weight to balance and leanness and we can get well. The effective TAM practice will include food therapy with the knowledge of what food works best with a particular constitution. Ever heard of, “You are what you eat”? What that means, is that certain foods will absolutely conclude the cell quality in the tissues of your body. Food, ideally, provides substance to make energy from, benefitting the cells so they can do their job. The more energy, the more capacity your cells have to do their jobs. If they are obstructed with poor choices, that fit your wants, then the result will be illness. Foods that balance your ailing constitution, are essential to re-establishing your health. Master herbalists, sophisticated in this specialty, will recommend this strategy in order to form a foundation for other traditional Asian medicine. No matter what treatment methodology, allopathic or naturopathic, healing can be sabotaged, if food therapy is not seriously considered in the remedial process. For that reason, food therapy is vital to reinstatement of your health. • While food is a more gentle remedy, it has a graduating, nutritious effect, while having the power to regenerate, and overlooked, only because it takes more time. Thus, when we get sick, it is difficult, to connect the dots as to how we got in that condition.
