Hello! Welcome to the “You are your best healer podcast”
This is Dr. Haizhen Yang. I am an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist. I am also a certified reiki healer and advanced Metatronic energy healer.
Today’s episode about therapeutic diet for different organ imbalance is mainly references master Jeffrey Yuen’s teaching.
In the Chinese Medical diet, different categories of food could be beneficial to different organs. For example,
- grains (SP/ST)
- Legumes (LR)
- Seeds (KD)
- Vegetables (SP/ST)
- Meat (SP/ST)
- Fruits (LU)
- Nuts (LU, KD)
- Dairy (LU - KD)
According to Chinese Medicine, we often diagnose deficiency of which organs or excess of which organs. Since different organs are categorized into five elements, due to the generating and controlling cycle of five elements, these organs have corresponding relationships as well.
For example, if you have spleen deficiency, since Spleen is categorized as an earth element, we could nourish its mother fire element. According to the five elements generating cycle, the heart is the fire element organ. That means when the spleen is deficient, we can nourish the heart to strengthen the spleen as well.
If a person has spleen deficiency, the person should eat drying / nonsticky/gluten-free grains. There are grains with a warming nature, that tend to be sticky, gluten amino acids.
There are grains with a cold nature, which tend to be nonsticky, and non-gluten. For a person with spleen deficiency, you should have grains of a cold nature, nonsticky, non-gluten.
The stomach likes moist, but the spleen likes to be dry. Grains that are gluten, and sticky, are better for the stomach, but not for people who have spleen deficiency. If you have spleen deficiency, it is better to have gluten-free, non-sticky grains including rice, millet, Barcket, Coren, quinoa, bulgar, and semolina.
All other grains are considered sticky, gluten, which is moistening, could be good for making soup, portage, and congee, and good to hold energy together. They are more nourishing stomach if you have stomach yin deficiency. Sticky grains include long barley, You should make them into the soup and drink them regularly to help with heat conditions, Sjogren’s syndromes, acid reflux, hot flashes, or heart burns. You should also avoid eating drying grains which are nonsticky.
I hope you will find this helpful.
