Wow, that’s interesting. I have big respect for the chinese medicine, I even bought a book last week and I’m reading it. Totally different treating of the human than european/common medicine. I’m so glad that I found your channel and I’m grateful to people like you Mr. Alex ❤
This is interesting, yet counter intuitive. I'd be curious about the climate that this phrase originates from, and if there is also a damp/dry compenent as well. In my experience, the opposite seems to fit better. Summer is the season to enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables like in a salad, since the ingredients are fresh and the body is prone to excess heat. Also, we tend to be more active in the summer, so our eating has to accommodate. In the winter, we use a lot of warming soups and teas to keep that inner fire stoked. We also tend not to be as active and we put on some weight as we eat more comfort foods and go outside much less. I wonder if this recommendation is assuming that there are other regulation practices in play already, like heated homes or air conditioning? I really like your channel and I hate to be contrary, but this is one that I am just not getting.
You can argue with thousands of years of practiced wisdom if you want to, perhaps Chinese medicine and acupuncture does not work and you are correct......even so in Russia, Siberia arguably areas of the most cold climates the main staple diet psuedo grain is Buckwheat which is cold in thermal nature, yet it does exactly as described in the video, to heat up the core of the body and push the cold out to the surface of the skin where it meets the cold atmosphere of the cold environment thereby the cold is felt less, just like after a hot sauna for 15 mins take a plunge into an icy lake and the body will heat up the core and push the cold out towards the surface of the skin, in this way does it make sense to eat Buckwheat in cold climates, the same to some extent with Barley in Tibet, Barley having a cold thermal nature yet generates great heat and strength in the body to keep the Tibetan people warm as Barley is their main staple.....may you have your own experience... All the best 🤜🤚☯️
@@johnbishop9000 Oh, I am not arguing against TCM. I am just questioning this particular *interpretation* of TCM. I am hoping for more clarification rather than attempting to enter into any kind of conflict. I am a TCM practioner myself, so I found this one a little confusing.
@@haerthguard yeah kinda through me when I can across this before....but when I got my head around it be letting go of prefixed beliefs, suddenly was open to receiving the new. So neutral is well neutral we know that and warming is warming and cooling is cooling, but when it comes to hot and cold they are extremes and if you know the Taiji Yin-Yang symbol, when yin reaches it's maximum it begins to turn into Yang, and vice versa, just as the original description of Taiji Yin-Yang is a mountain where the side without the sun is referred to as Yin and the sunny side as Yang, yet as the sun moves around the mountain the dark side in the shadow becomes enlightened and the Yang side falls into the shadow....if you ever eaten lots of chilli pepper until it makes you sweat you would have experienced a cooling at your core as the heat in the centre is pushed to the surface making you sweat and detox cooling you down after the initial hot fire in your mouth face ears and throat....try eating buckwheat next winter and see how that cold food heats up your core yet your skin surface remains cool.....I had to experience it to believe it...best of luck....🤜🤚☯️
I think American corn is pretty heaty. It makes my tongue turn red. Ginger is also pretty heaty for me too. I can only have like half an ounce. Someone really needs to redo those chinese foods for hot and cold. Cuz modern food has change so much energetically. Plus how the food is prepared. If it's all fried is becomes heat. If it's steamed it's neutral, but steamed food isn't that good unless the cook is like chinese si fu cook. That itself it's own thing. LOLs.
Hello! 😊 Do you have a video on how hormonal balancing can be done in women, especially before the period, especially the emotional part? (acupressure points or Qi Gong exercises) I recently discovered this profile, thank you for the valuable information!🙏🙏🙏
Why is it a taboo for certain Chinese on eggs . Non eggs consumption esp after wound surgery? The belief is to avoid breakdown of wound.! Would appreciate yr advise on this. Thank you!
