Healing Begins with Food
Recipes
Chinese medicine is all about eating for the season. In addition to eating local as much as possible, curating your diet to encompass foods that support the seasonal energetics will help you tune in to the rhythms of the natural world, improve your health and embrace your best self. Here, you’ll find recipes we recommend by season (note: there are some overlaps based on the correlation with different organs/channels, so don’t feel you have to be too strict about when you eat them; they’ll still give you a feel for the overall gist for the related time of year). Scroll further down for a breakdown by breakfast, lunch and dinner, etc. Cheers!
