Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 I have recently learned that TCM herbology also extends into nutritional medicine and dietary guidelines. I have learned some of the basics about TCM dietary methods through some Qigong texts and herbology titles. I would like to extend my knowledge in this field, but I find it difficult to acquire, or even find texts that focus on TCM food science. The five flavors aspect that fits into the Wu Xing, along with some other general guides help, but I am having trouble tying the whole practice together. If anyone has any links or book titles to offer, I will be most grateful. I am interested more in the theory, as I am sure books that list the elemental properties of food (like herbology books) are not difficult to find.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi Joshua. I have a few books on TCM nutrition. One is the Tao of health, sex and longevity by Daniel Reid, the other is Chinese Functional Food by Dang Yi and the third which is more ingredient based is Chinese Health Tea, again by Dang Yi (a old lecture of mine). I can also send you a TCM based nutrition case study invloving a patient with Xie Xie (diarrhoea) and colonic cancer if you wish. Let me know.
