A High Quality Introduction to Therapeutic Diet, March 6, 2002
This review is from: Arisal of the Clear: A Simple Guide to Healthy Eating According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback)
Given that, in the classical Oriental tradition, lifestyle and diet have been proven to be at least 85% of the "equation" of successful health maintenance and restoration, this most accessible guide is of considerable value. Thousands of years of medical knowledge, wisdom, and practice support this comprehensive approach, so little known in Western industrialized society. An "eye-opener" and, to be sure, five stars for all who are interested in the benefits of Integrative Medicine

Great Intro to TCM Diet, February 24, 2009
This review is from: Arisal of the Clear: A Simple Guide to Healthy Eating According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback)
This book is an abbreviation of the author's earlier title Prince Wen Hui's Cook. It contains simple, toned-down information for the layperson, which is easily accessible to the average reader.
The information presented, is solid, and helpful. You will get a basic introduction to the concept of interplay between the 5 elements as they relate to flavor, and the effects they have on organs.
Info includes organ functions based on TCM, how they are affected by various foods, as well as other organs, and how to treat various ailments by adding or subtracting various elements to your diet.
Great book for the average reader interested in TCM's dietary elements, or anyone generally interested in improving their health.
