TCM nutrition III
In TCM, the foods have tastes and thermal natures which affect certain organs.
Energetic flow
- Downward – This flow makes energy to flow downward. It would give more heavy and down-bearing sensation. This is good for shortness of breath, hiccups, coughing, and vomiting.
- Upward – This flow makes energy to flow upward. It would give lighter and floating sensation. This is good for hernia, prolapse, diarrhea, and heaviness of body.
- Outward – This flow makes energy to flow outward to the skin. It would open up the pore and cools the skin.
- Inward – This flow makes energy to flow inside of the body from the skin. It would concentrate the blood flow to the central body, and prevent any undesired bodily fluid loss. Also it would help with bowel movements, fatigue, and relieve abdominal distention.
It would be beneficial to know how the foods we consume will affect our body, and we can control our health through foods.
