๐Ÿฒ Food is Medicine

In TCM, what you eat isn't just nutrition โ€” it's therapy. Every food has a thermal nature (warming, cooling, neutral) and affects specific organs. Eating right for your body type and the season is the #1 principle of TCM wellness.

  • Best for: Cold hands/feet, fatigue, weak digestion

โ„๏ธ Cooling Foods (Yin)

  • Watermelon, cucumber, pear, mint, celery
  • Mung beans, lotus root, seaweed, tofu
  • Best for: Heat signs, inflammation, dry mouth

โš–๏ธ Neutral Foods
