diet therapy

The understanding of foods as having specific energic qualities is part of the principles of Oriental medicine.

There is a saying that "food is medicine and medicine is food". This highlights the importance of foods in our health, not only from a nutritional perspective but also what kind of foods are most suitable for our general well-being.

"Food is medicine and medicine is food"

As foods have specific energy qualities it is essential to eat foods as seasonally as possible. For example foods which are meant for consumption in summer months, because they are cooling, are not suitable for consumption in winter as our bodies at this time need warming foods.

Eating foods our of season or excesses of any particular food type will bring about a dishamony in the body leading to illhealth. You will be guided into what foods are most suitable for you as part of your journey back to optimum health.
