Added 2023-01-30 22:18:38 +0000 UTCTCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is rooted in the belief that the body enjoys living in harmony and balance. As a practitioner, my tool belt includes acupuncture, cupping, moxa, guasha, tui na massage to name a few. TCM also outlines nutrition, referred to as the Five Flavors, as a major component of brining ones life into balance. "Heart is benefited by the bitter taste, the Lung by the pungent taste, the Spleen by the sweet taste, the Liver by the sour taste, and the Kidneys by the salty taste. However, this never implies that one may overindulge’ (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine: a new translation of the Neijing Suwen) Next time you have a flavor craving, think about the correlating organ and function. The body tells use what it needs, our responsibility is to tune in and listen ♡
