Also, TCM/Ayurveda connection I forgot:

[Guest guest]

There is one very clear correspondance between Ayurveda and TCM:

 

There are three kinds of " eaters " mentioned in a Chinese Internal

Medicine classic, I forget which one specifically, but it states there

are three kind of diners:

 

One who is eats very slowly and enjoys everything, he is not picky

about what is on his plate and likes sweet things most. Another is

extremely critical about what he eats, eats very quickly, and tends to

prefer spicy foods. The third is unfocused and variable, often not

paying much attention.

 

These correspond respectively to the Kapha, Pitta, and Vata Doshas in

Ayurveda exactly. I do not know of a better link between the two

systems.
