Chinese Dietary Therapy
Dietary therapy is an important part of TCM. The focus is on eating foods that are nourishing and strengthening, and avoiding foods that are considered to be harmful. Each person has prescribed a specific diet based on their individual health needs. Chinese dietary therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including:
Digestive disorders
Weight loss
Diabetes
High cholesterol
Hypertension
And many more conditions
Dietary therapy is the best preventative medicine and has protocols for disease. It also acts to remediate energetic imbalances. Many health problems can be cured by making small changes in your diet. For example, refined and processed foods, such as refined flours and grains, create sticky mucus deposits and contribute greatly to dampness in the body. Dampness can be seen in conditions such as yeast infections, edema, loose stools, certain types of eczema, and more. A patient would be asked to discontinue these foods and others for a certain amount of time and incorporate foods that will dry dampness into their diet, such as rye bread, onions, beans, and basmati rice.
Cupping
Cupping is a form of therapy in which glass or bamboo cups are placed on the skin. The cups are then heated, and the resulting suction draws the skin and muscles up into the cup. Cupping is used to relieve pain, improve circulation, and to treat respiratory conditions. Cupping can be used to improve the appearance of cellulite, as well as to help break up and expel toxins from the body. If you are looking for more in depth information on traditional Chinese medicine visit The Emperor’s Medicine and schedule your cupping appointment.
