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.
Summer = Heart & Fire element. Add cooling foods: watermelon, bitter greens, mung bean soup. Avoid excessive ice-cold drinks โ they weaken your Spleen. Drink warm green tea instead. Yes, warm tea actually cools you better than ice water!
Mung Bean & Lotus Seed Soup: 1 cup mung beans, 1/4 cup lotus seeds, 6 cups water. Simmer 40 min. Add rock sugar to taste. Clears heat, calms the mind, and supports Heart health. A TCM summer staple for 2,000 years.
