Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Greetings, I'm interested in learning about which foods are diuretic. Could someone please share a diuretic food list? Many thanks, Danamarie ***** Posted by Victoria Dragon " Don't feed the child carrots for supper or a nightime snack. They move Qi downward, and they are diuretic. Henry C. Lu gives an example of carrots for supper triggering an episode of bedwetting in a 3-year- old. (Chinese Natural Cures, p. 383.) Carrots are OK for lunch or an afternoon snack, but they should be cooked. Raw food can be hard on the Spleen (even in adults), and a child's Spleen is not fully developed until around the age of 6. BTW, Lu classifies cooked carrots as a Spleen tonic food. If they are cooked they strengthen the Spleen. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
