Book Reviews of The Self-Healing Cookbook: Whole Foods To Balance Body, Mind and Moods
Book Review: Best layperson's guide to Chinese Principles for eating for balance
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist and so I work a lot with the concept of balance in eating and medicine. In Chinese medicine we believe that anything we put into our body is essentially a drug, because it will have a physiological effect on the body. But it will either be the drug that your body needs, or the opposite. In this sense, herbs and foods are very similar. Each one will either bring your body towards balance or send it more into imbalance.
For example, a person who is too hot and hyperactive needs to eat cooling foods that will calm excessive energy. A person who is depleted and cold needs to eat warming, tonifying foods that will build more energy.
The best thing is to find an acupuncturist in your area who stresses education and will really explain your individual diagnosis for you and teach you how to tell where you are on the scale of balance. Then you can apply what you know to the teachings in this book. If that is not an option for you, just reading this book alone will dramatically increase your ability to be able to tell which foods are right for you at given times. There are very helpful charts that make it all very clear and easy to understand.
The hand-drawn pictures and charts give this book a homey, accessible feel that anyone can feel they can understand and follow. There's ideas for cooking for kids, for getting in touch with how your body is feeling so you know which foods may benefit you more at that moment, and wonderful, quick ideas for leftovers.
In general, this book will help you understand yourself and your body better, it is an easy quick read, and you'll be wanting to try to ideas immediately!
