Blog 2: Chinese Medicine, Its Complexity, and Me

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Albert Einstein

A view from our front porch:

Trying to change my perspective and eating patterns to follow Traditional Chinese medicine’s (TCM's) recommendations has proven to be difficult. I consulted several sources. When I got down to specifics, like what to specifically eat or not eat, not all the sources agreed.

My husband hates change. He eats differently than I do already, but I do the shopping and cook our main meal. However, he always cautions me about making too many changes too quickly. After being married almost 36 years, he does know me fairly well! So . . .

Easy Does It

and

Keep It Simple

Chinese Medicine Simplified

Chinese medicine’s complexity far exceeds the limitations of this blog, but I will try and provide a simplified overview of it.

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, everything is interdependent and comes from the flow of qi, or energy. To be healthy, we must keep a dynamic state of balance in our bodies, living in harmony with ourselves, others, and all of nature. 

The familiar tajii, or Yang/Yin symbol, illustrates this dynamic balance. Yang energy, the white area, motivates, energizes, and embodies qi. Yin energy, the black area, cools, moistens, nourishes, and anchors our shen, or spirit. These intertwined energies are found in every living thing.

Food is medicine.

Food is not just something with calories, vitamins, minerals, protein, carbs, and fat content. Every food has a thermal energy, the qi of food, that affects our internal balance of yin and yang. All food is categorized according to its thermal energy which can range from cold to hot. Warming foods have a yang action while cooling foods are yin acting. Yang foods cause ascending energy while Yin foods cause descending energy.

Chinese medicine also considers a food’s flavor as therapeutic. Sweet and pungent foods have a yang action. Salty, sour, and bitter foods bring about yin energy. Foods can be drying, lubricating, neutral, or strengthening. 

Learning More About TCM and Foods

I consulted three books about food and TCM.

The first book I consulted was Total Health the Chinese Way: An Essential Guide to Eating by Esther Tin and Marian Jas. She has a nice table of foods organized by their thermal properties and another table matching the thermal properties to symptoms. Its simplicity makes it handy to look at when menu planning and grocery shopping. They also have included a questionnaire to determine your body temperature and energy level. I was somewhat confused by my results since I have symptoms in several areas. (More on this in my next blog.) In my opinion, this book ranks the highest for ease of understanding.

For extensive descriptions of foods and their properties and much more information on TCM, Paul Pitchford has written over 600 pages of information. I ended up using the index to figure out what would work for me since reading everything was overwhelming. If I want to know the properties of a food and what it is recommended for, this book tops all others. The PINES library system has this book, but after reading parts of it, I ordered a copy for myself. This books does not use the motto, "Easy Does It," but it did help me clarify the direction I need to take to heal my infirmities. I checked out my conclusion with my acupuncturist at my first visit. She confirmed that my conclusion was right.

Goldsmith and Klein also write about TCM so anyone can understand it. I bought the book for the recipes but she uses many Chinese ingredients that are not available in rural northeast Georgia. Plus, her recipes are somewhat complicated. I use the motto "Keep it simple" in the kitchen!

To find out how I applied this to my health challenges, be sure and read my next blog.

xikerliker's song of the month! (march 2024)

XXL by Young Posse

I was so firmly set on We Don't Stop being my sotm but then XXL went triple platinum in my room… ( IMMA BOUT TO DO IT XXL DOING XXL !!! ) Sunhye went OFF on the rap part and the entire song being like a lost cypress hill track (or seo tajii& the boys if you wanna ref kpop) is SOOO fucking good man. Young Posse is definitely exploding in popularity bc of this banger and is SUCH a step up from Macaroni Cheese (which i did enjoy, mind you). God they're such a charismatic and mad talented group of girls i cannot wait to see where they go from here. First comeback and already ON TOP in my books. BIG T-SHIRT NOT BILLIE JUST POSSE!!!!!

RUNNERS-UP (it's a fifth gen takeover man….,,):

We Don't Stop by xikers: I already spoke my piece on We Don't Stop, so I wont again but STREAM!!!

Magnetic by ILLIT: THIS TIME I WANT YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU LIKE ITS MAGNETIC U U U U U U U U U SUPER IKEULIM. the song was released not even a week ago and it has taken the internet by storm and for good reason!!!! she's a chiptune BOP fr.

UhUh by Rescene: IT IS ALWAYS THE DAMN NUGUS MAN this song is soooooo precious to me and is a bop. This is the THIS IS LOVE (by Queenz Eye) for me. PLEASE STREAM RESCENE their debut single called YoYo and is actua/ly better than UhUh but STILL!

Cannibalism, light bdsm and the patience of a saint and Tajii could end their doomed yaoi.

Crazy that no grand speech or amount of therapy could help Tarune but if he hypothetically lived in a society where the cannibalistic version of omegaverse existed, it could fix him.

Light,Darkness, and Tajii in Volume 8

Darkness within the Light

Being born in environments and struggle and violence, now mocked by a white room surrounded by a hard light cell

Light within the Darkness

Those who never wished to fight now being mocked by environments of war due to the power each of the individuals has

Wuji: absence of Yin and Yang

Snow covering those who isolate themselves with the snow being neither light/heat or grimm/darkness directly

Tajii

"Supreme Ultimate" state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potential, the oneness before duality, from which Yin and Yang originate that.

If there is no light, one cannot talk about darkness. Without stillness, there cannot be the concept of motion.
