Drawing on Classical Chinese Medicine and modern nutritional science, this book explains how to diagnose and heal nutritional deficiencies and improve health with food and herbs. It includes specific advice for working with a wide range of illnesses and conditions and a selection of delicious recipes designed to treat specific organ deficiencies.
Combining the wisdom of classical Chinese medicine with modern nutritional science, this book explores the concept of Yang Sheng, which means to nourish life by nurturing body, mind and spirit in harmony with the natural rhythms and universal laws, revealing the importance of nutrition within it and outlining how our modern lifestyle and environment challenges our ability to do that.

A perfect guide for practitioners and students of Chinese medicine, the book explains modern diets and Chinese nutritional theory with a focus on prevention of illness and the impact of lifestyle and environment on our health during each stage of life. Lifestyle and nutritional advice for prevention and treatment of a range of illnesses and conditions is given for both adults and children.
