How to use our website

The section on 'TCM is to give you a basic understanding of the principles and theories of Chinese Medicine. You just need to understand the Yin and Yang Theory and the 5 Elements Theory and how they relate to our body systems and functions.  

The sections on 'Foods' and 'Herbs' are the libraries for listing the nature, characteristics and therapeutic benefits of each common food and herb. You just need to browse through to know what are in there. Come back to use the libraries to look up on specific food or herb as and when needed.

When choosing recipes and deciding on which ones are most suitable for you, your focus should be on matching the problem/disease/condition, the therapeutic benefits that you are looking for and symptoms as described. You don't need to have all of the described symptoms to use a particular recipe. You just need to have one or two of the major ones. When in doubt, please consult a TCM doctor/herbalist for help.  

The section on 'Basics' is to provide the basic know-hows to prepare and make therapeutic cooking. Therapeutic cooking is minimalist cooking and is never meant to be complicated. Most recipes are for making teas and soups and therefore, should be simple enough for most people. You just need to learn the basic steps once and you are able to make it time and time again. Don't forget to sign up as registered member in order to have full access to the recipes.

Your input is vital to make our forum a valuable resource and support network for healthful information to benefit everyone.
