Helping Ourselves: Guide to Traditional Chinese Food Energetics

The Chinese understand that in order to remain healthy a good diet is of fundamental importance. "Helping Ourselves" is written clearly and simply so that it is easy to follow and use. It sets out the important general considerations of how to eat well, how to understand "hot" and "cold" foods, how taste affects us, and how best to support our individual health through diet. It will be of interest to all practitioners of oriental medicine, to patients and to anyone who wishes to gain insight into the profound effect that diet has on their health.(Angela Hicks)
