Chinese Diet Therapy

Chinese Diet Therapy is a holistic approach to nutrition rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike Western nutrition, which often focuses on calories and nutrients alone, Chinese Diet Therapy emphasizes the energetic properties of foods and their effects on the body’s internal balance.

This therapy uses food as medicine to support digestion, boost energy, strengthen immunity, and address specific health concerns. Each recommendation is tailored to your individual constitution, lifestyle, and any imbalances identified through a TCM assessment.

Key components of Chinese Diet Therapy include:

• Identifying warming vs. cooling foods

• Balancing flavors (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent)

• Eating with the seasons

• Supporting organ systems such as the spleen, liver, and kidneys

• Addressing symptoms like fatigue, poor digestion, hormonal imbalance, or emotional stress

This therapy is not about restriction or dieting—it’s about nourishing the body with foods that support healing, vitality, and long-term wellness.

Whether used on its own or alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine, Chinese Diet Therapy is a powerful and sustainable way to promote health through everyday choices.
