"Helping Ourselves takes two important steps towards making chinese food energetics accessible. Firstly, it is extremely easy to read and explains Chinese energy concepts… in terms that most lay people would understand. Secondly, it classifies foods into what they do energetically so you can easily look up which food resolve Dampness and which are cooling. To my knowledge this has not been done in England before…" Shiatsu Society News |
