Avoid Cold Beverages

Oriental Medicine recommends avoiding cold beverages. Since this is new advice for Westerners, the wisdom may escape us. Sometimes not understanding “why” makes it more difficult to comply with unfamiliar instructions. Let us share the “why” to better understand the benefits. In summer, the heat can be oppressive. Many prefer drinking cold beverages to cool off. Cool water tastes better. Iced drinks are seemingly, even more refreshing. However; before you think of adding a few ice cubes to beat the heat, consider the wisdom passed down through the ages. The Easterners have long understood the thermal nature of foods. Food as medicine is used to heal imbalances. To cool down, it is better to consume foods that have a cooling nature like watermelon or mint tea versus frozen, chilled, or iced drinks. “Cold beverages are neither healthy nor cooling; in fact, they cause the stomach to create more heat to break the foods down, which ultim...

Blood from Acupuncture Perspective

The blood is a body fluid that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. It is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, nutrients, other proteins, electrolytes, and water. In Oriental medicine terms, Blood is spirited with Qi, which moves the blood through the body so it can nourish every aspect of our body from the skin and muscles to the brain and deep organs.

When Blood is deficient a person will feel weak, tired, have a pale complexion, or become anemic, they ...

Nutrition

Nutrition is one of the 5 branches of Oriental Medicine which all share the same underlying theories, but the starting place is always nutrition. Diet is often the cause of imbalance, and treatment cannot be successful without dietary change. Sin Simiao, a famous TCM Doctor, said “When a person is sick the doctor should first regulate the person's diet and lifestyle”. Although this has been re-iterated by many in the West over the centuries, this information has been largely ignored until relatively recent times. Hippocrates, ‘The Father of Western Medicine’ wrote “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”, later, Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931) said “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in diet and nutrition, exercise and the care of the human frame. He will teach them about the cause of all disease.” In Western nutrition, food contains certain amounts of protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, etc. This information is obtai...
