Healing Foods, Whole Foods, and Home Remedies
Using food for healing has a long tradition in both conventional Western medicine and traditional Chinese healing.

Healing Foods and Chinese Medicine
Food has long played a role in traditional Chinese medicine. Food is considered one of the four foundations of Chinese medicine, along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage.

Chinese medicine approaches food as a balancing of yin and yang. Different food is believed to affect the body in different ways. By eating the correct foods in the correct proportions the body is kept in balance.
