For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has approached health in a balanced, holistic way by focusing on each individual’s unique needs, honoring nature and the seasons, and using that wisdom to re-balance the body. In this informative and fun book you will find tips on: - which foods can alleviate your chronic, nagging health problems, and which foods will truly help your body to work better and shed that excess weight - how the seasons of the year affect physical and mental health, and how can you easily maximize your own health using the seasons - what the health of your internal organs (like the heart, kidneys and liver) have to do with the seasons and how this can profoundly influence your health Christine Grisham, Dipl.
