The 9/11 Decade - The Price of the New Normal


BEFORE The towers in spring 2001.

Introduction to Chinese Dietary Therapy



















http://www.tao-garden.com/5elements/FiveElementsNutritionPictures/Diet.gif

Chinese dietary therapy is a standard modality of traditional Chinese medicine. The idea that food is also medicine is deeply rooted in the Chinese culture. Chinese medicine has a unique way to assess foods. Practitioners not only look at nutritional components, but also consider the food’s color, taste, texture and shape.

Foods with specific colors and tastes nourish specific parts of the body and correct specific imbalances. This chapter is organized into four parts: traditional Chinese medicine theories, Chinese dietary therapy concepts and principles, properties of commonly-used foods and their applications, and a selection of classical Chinese dietary recipes.

All About Herbs

An herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, medicinal or other qualities. Herbs are used in cooking, as medicines, and for spiritual purposes.

Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual usage. General usage differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs.  In medicinal or spiritual use any of the parts of the plant might be considered "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin,  root bark, inner bark (cambium), berries and  sometimes the pericarp or other portions of the plant.
