There is a belief in Chinese medicine that you should treat any symptoms or imbalances first by eating the right foods; and if that fails, only then should you turn to acupuncture and herbs for a cure. It’s true that you are what you eat, or at least that your health is hugely impacted by your diet. Knowing this, many of my patients ask me what they should be eating.
