ONLINE COURSE Traditional Chinese Medicine Nutritional Principles for Healthy Eating
The principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diet and lifestyles allow us to work with the natural energy and continual cycle of the seasons; to work with nature and not against it. Before we can help ourselves and others, we need to better understand how the elements work with us so that we can work with the natural flow to support and promote health.
TCM Nutrition and the 5 Element Theory
The 5 Elements reflect a deep understanding of natural law, the Universal order underlying all things in our world. It is basically a template that organises everything into five master groups or patterns in nature. Each of the five groups – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, include categories such as a season, a direction, climate, stage of growth and development, internal organ, body tissue, emotion, aspect of the soul, taste, colour, sound – the categories are extensive and almost limitless.
With a little understanding of the 5 Elements, you can choose and balance your diet by season, colour and flavour. Lifestyle choices and activities that are most suited to each season and how, by balancing these elements, you also support a healthy lifestyle.
We are all unique, so it makes sense that some foods may not really work for you, even if they are considered a “healthy” dietary option. Chinese and Oriental Medicine understands this, and through a process of elimination, we will help you use the 5 Element’s ancient wisdom to find the foods that will heal, nourish and satisfy you and your needs.
The principles for healthy eating can be adapted to your dietary requirements and easily adapted to a vegan or vegetarian diet. It is simply a process of mindful eating so that you find the best way to eat with foods that sustain you.
