Nutrition

Nutritional Therapy or ‘Dietary Therapy’ is the cornerstone of Chinese Medicine. It is an ancient way of looking at food and nutrition through the lens of yin and yang, the 5 elements, and ‘food energetics’.

In Chinese medicine, every food has a type of energy in addition to its physical components: foods are warming or cooling, drying or moistening, and so on. This allows for a detailed understanding of exactly what a food does to you when you eat it. When combined with a Chinese Medicine diagnosis, it is a powerful tool for healing.

Chinese Nutrition is, therefore, a holistic system of diagnosis and therapy, where each patient’s individual characteristics are taken into account to provide a unique diagnosis and a personal treatment program.
