TCM ENERGETICS OF FOOD

Course overview

Nutrition is an important component in everyday living and even plays a big part in health and disease. To achieve optimal health in the foods that we eat, there must be harmony and balance. With over 6,000 years of knowledge on nutrition, the Chinese have produced time-tested results in regards to general health and longevity. In this video recording, Cathy McNease, a Master Herbalist, discusses the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dietary therapy, compares and contrasts Chinese nutrition with Western nutrition, and shares therapeutic actions of different foods groups as well as the five flavors of food (salty, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent).
