The Spleen Friendly Diet™ - Supporting Healthy Digestion the Traditional Chinese Medicine Way

If you're interested in improving your digestion naturally, the Spleen Friendly Diet™ is one of the most valuable foundations in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

What is The Spleen Friendly Diet™?

Written by Paul Hopfensperger MIfHI, this easy-to-follow guide explains how Chinese Nutrition views the digestive system differently from Western nutrition, and provides succinct practical dietary advice that can be implemented immediately.

Rather than focusing solely on calories, vitamins or carbohydrates etc., Chinese Nutrition considers the energetic effects of food - how different foods influence digestion, vitality and overall wellbeing. Importantly, it also focuses on not just what to eat, but also how and when to eat. As the guide explains, in TCM the "Spleen" refers primarily to the body's digestive function rather than the anatomical spleen as we know it.

Whether you're studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, working with a practitioner, or simply looking for a gentler approach to digestive health, this guide provides an excellent introduction.
