In the stages of treatment according to Traditional Chinese Medicine the first step is always to look at and adjust what the patient can control and add in their daily lives. In this day and age this refers to nutrition and daily exercise.
The foods we consume on a daily basis need to meet our needs and follow our intention. While I will never be a hypocrite and denounce a abnormally large cheeseburger, we need to look at what foods will suit our needs and support our daily activities.
At Jupiter Acupuncture we help supplement your holistic wellness not by fad diets or even telling you which foods are unhealthy (I think at this point those foods are well documented). What we do is to let you know the medicinal properties of certain foods. The consummation of anything on this planet will have a supplementing or suppressing nature in the body. Certain foods will give you more energy while others will leave you feeling sedated. Some foods are good for building mass while others are slimming.
The intent is that we will let patients know what foods will support the diagnosis and differentiation of the specific pattern given. This acts like a continuance of the treatment after you leave our clinic.
This service is including in all Acu-Therapy treatments and if this is one of your primary focal areas let us know for a truly comprehensive review of dietary needs.
