Chinese Dietary therapy Treatments At The Leixlip Chinese Medicine Clinic ...
Before pharmaceutical
corporations discovered there was great profits to be had in the selling of
drugs, doctors in Western Medicine used to rely on food to create cures in
their patients. The founding father of Western Medicine - Hippocrates even
famously stated "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food".
As the
Chinese see foods as weaker versions of herbs, they have always used foods as a
way of healing simple (and sometimes more complex) ailments; and of promoting
good health and strength in the body.
However, over thousands of years, their methods of Chinese Dietary Therapy evolved into a very sophiscated and specialised system. They developed ways of understanding and predicting how every food will react in the body and the implications of such reactions. They have classified foods into categories to detox the body, improve energy, strength, mental power, slow down aging, beautify the skin, tone the muscles, balance hormones, increase the health of each of the interior organs and so on.
They have not just examined foods but have also looked at how different ways to cook them changes their properties; how eating them at different times of the day and different seasons throughout the year makes them behave differently in the human body; and the reasons why one type of food can produce very different reactions in different people.
Although there is much involved in the system, many of its' concepts are profound and very simple to explain and pass on to others.
