Food Therapy and Acupressure Programs
Food is something we continuously use to sustain our lives. Learning what foods are healing (and what disruptive) for ones condition has the potential to convert every meal into therapy! As we eat couple of times a day the food as medicine approach turns daily food consumption into multiple daily treatments that continuously better and benefit the persons physiology, vitality and emotionality. Food is also completely safe. It can be dangerous only if one has allergies or intolerance to certain foods, which is expected to be part of someones common sense.
Acupressure is the pressing of a certain point to evoke the body's healing responses. It is not invasive like acupuncture and only requires knowledge of the different points, which is offered in this Project as instructional point location videos. Acupressure is pure yet very powerful and highly effective healing method.
Food therapy and acupressure are present in every pathology discussed in the Project and are accessible through subscribing to our project.
Additionally we created specially designed food therapy programs. Here is a short overview of the additionally customised and specially designed offers:
1) "Food therapy and Women's Health" is built on search-by-symptom basis. You will be able to browse through different symptoms that pertain to women's menstrual cycle and other features unique to women’s physiological maturity and select the symptom(s) that pertain. After selecting the symptom(s) you will arrive at a different page where you can learn what foods, herbs, spices, and acupressure points are healing for the condition that causes these symptoms.
2) "Food therapy and Children's Health" is build on search-by-symptom basis and the treatment principles offered are healing foods, herbal teas, and acupressure. Children usually suffer from rather acute diseases as they are not yet exposed to toxins, bad habits, negative emotions and other major causes of disease. This program reviews the causes for acute illnesses in children and how to approach such diseases with food therapy and massage. It is build on TCM principles but added to that is also the personal experience of the author as a parent.
3) "Food Therapy for Chronic Emotional Disharmony" is a unique approach to unpleasant emotions and unpleasant psychological states. In traditional Chinese medicine 7 negative emotions such as anger, worry, sadness, fear are associated with the disharmony of a certain organ. Thus benefiting the organ that the emotion corresponds to will also balance and benefit the emotion. Since TCM incorporates food therapy as treatment method negative emotions can be approached with different foods. After selecting an emotion, and the underlying physical symptoms, you will learn what foods and food combinations (as well as acupressure points) are beneficial for the organ associated with the negative emotion and through that - work for transforming/releasing the negative emotion itself!
4) The "Food therapy for Body Pain and Inflammation" addresses different kinds of musculoskeletal pain and joint pain. Inflammatory conditions and pain are best counteracted in the long run by changing the diet and lifestyle. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine the Liver and Kidney functions need to be improved, toxic fluids from the Spleen need to be drained, and the digestion needs to be harmonised. Also based on a search-by-symptom basis you can select a symptom of interest and arrive at the page that lists foods, ideas for food combinations and acupressure points that work for transforming the underling condition of the symptom.
5) The "Seasonal Menu" is a special menu that we designed to help you align your diet with the energy of the different seasons.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine each season corresponds to a certain element (from the Five Elements theory). To each Element corresponds a different color. It is our observation that the color that corresponds to a certain element is also the color of the foods that are more predominant during the season that belongs to this Element. For example season spring corresponds to element Wood. The color green also corresponds to element Wood. During spring season grow predominantly green leafy vegetables which have a cleansing effect on the organ that corresponds to element Wood – the liver. Thus it is appropriate to incorporate green colored vegetables and herbs during season spring to cleanse/tonify the liver. The same goes for the other Elements and their corresponding seasons, colors, and organs. Furthermore there is a certain grain and an animal that also relates to a different Element. We created a unique menu for each season which contains seasonal breakfasts, desserts, herbal teas and spreads with the color foods that relate to that season, and also contain meals which incorporate the seasonal meat and grain. Through that we aim to align better with the Five Elements correspondences thus be more in touch with Nature’s cyclic energy.
6) The "Open Point Calculator" finds the "open point", which is an acupuncture point that steadily changes and is calculated based on the data of an ancient Chinese healing system. Here the human body is approached as part of Nature's cycle rather than through the personal signs and symptoms. According to this healing system stimulating the "open point" of the day and hour allows excess turbid energy to exit the body while deficient, scarce energy gets supplemented.
With the Open point calculator you can additionally learn at what time what organ is most active. There is a list of the body organs from which you can select the most active body organ and read about its physical and mental manifestations when it is in balance. You can best determine if this organ is in balance or not when it is in its peak/ during the time it is most active. If this organ is not in balance you can further read on about the organ's different pathologies and what foods and acupressure points address them.
7) Last but not least we offer more than 45 Point Location Videos to help easily locate the acupressure points appointed by "Food Therapy for Women's Health", "Food Therapy for Children's Health", "Food Therapy for Chronic Emotional Disharmony", "Food Therapy for Body Pain and Inflammation", "Open Point Calculator" , as well as the Treatment section in all the articles in the Physiology chapter.
In short:
Discover a different approach to human health that is pure yet highly effective!
