Nutrition

“He who seeks Medicine and neglects his diet wastes the skill of his doctors.”
-Chinese Proverb

One of the most powerful modalities of Oriental Medicine is nutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine has long understood that the quality, quantity and timing of your nutrition are integral to regaining health, preventing illness and promoting longevity.

The quality of what you consume renders your diet either medicinal or harmful. Healthy nutrition provides the foundational energy and substance which nourishes, heals and sustains your body, whereas poor nutrition depletes, harms and toxifies it.
