Following the foundational diet with additions and subtractions per your 5-element pattern type will help you achieve the best results without aggravations.
A Great Foundation
Acupuncture Medicine is also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been practiced for thousands of years, thus there is a lot of experience from clinical trial and error. The effects on the human body for enhancing health or treating illness have been observed testing a myriad of different herbs, spices, and foods over time for many people.
The goal is to enhance one's health and vitality. As opposed to Western medicine, the foundation of this approach is to support the body's natural self-healing mechanisms and abilities.
Dietary principles are based on a core foundation that is balanced. Most people do well on the Chinse Medicine foundational diet. Since each person has different needs, for optimal results you can easily tailor your diet with addition and subtraction of foods for your unique situation.

Digestive Essential Oils
Discover the power of essential oils of herbs and spices. You will learn which ones to use, and how to use them for daily routines for better digestive health.
Teas and Smoothies
Teas and smoothies are quick and effective ways to use food as medicine. Fiber can be an issue for IBD or IBS. You will learn recipes to combine the right types of fiber and food combinations that will calm your diarrhea, ease pain, and avoid aggravations.
We cannot of course predict all idiosyncrasies. That is why keeping a food journal is so important. Everyone is different, and two people with the same Western Medicine GI diagnosis do not necessarily have the same 5-element pattern. Some foods that may help one person may aggravate another.

As a doctor of Acupuncture Medicine for over 20 years, I am happy to share my experience, and research with you.
The CDC reports that In 2015, an estimated 1.3% of US adults (3 million) reported being diagnosed with IBD (either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis).1 This was a large increase from 1999 (0.9% or 2 million adults).
IBS affects between 25 and 45 million people in the United States according to The International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders.2
From U.S. News, "The American College of Gastroenterology reports that "more than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month and some studies have suggested that more than 15 million Americans experience heartburn symptoms each day." Simple heartburn becomes GERD when it happens two or more times per week...Up to 20% of the population may suffer from GERD."3
Today there is more and more knowledge about how gastrointestinal problems affect the whole body. There is a connection between our brain, mental health, skin, joints, hair, kidney health, liver disease, cardiovascular, respiratory, bone health, immune system, and cellular health such as cancer and tumor growth.
A message from Harvard Health discusses the gut-brain in connection with anxiety and depression.4
These connections were in fact always known in ancient Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. The digestive system is known as the Spleen-Pancreas Meridian. It includes the whole alimentary canal from the mouth to the anus. It is considered our center of health. When out of order it can affect other body systems.
In many cases when someone is seeing me in my clinic for acupuncture whether it is for a gastrointestinal issue, acne, psoriasis, eczema, arthritis, joint pain, muscle tension, anxiety, insomnia, or fibromyalgia, most often the focus in on the spleen and stomach channels. These give the best results.
As an acupuncturist I have helped so many people find balance, and achieve remission through dietary plans per their constitutional patterns.
Many people seek my care for pain relief, and are surprised that my specialty is digestive health.
I have found that combining the use of essential oils enhances results.
I am proud to offer you this program as a way for you to have every thing you need to know all in one place. You can learn about essential oils, and food healing methods that are easy to apply. I have made sure that you can find most foods in your local grocery market, and in your pantry.
Food should taste good, be easy to digest, and well-absorbed. My goal is for you to improve all of your necessary bodily functions so that you can eat, pee, poop, and sleep without difficulty.
To Your Health and Healing,
