Eating the Dragon is not just a cookbook: it is an invitation to delve into the world of traditional Chinese medicine through the art of eating.

 

Inspired by ancient wisdom and enriched with a contemporary perspective, this book offers simple, practical tools for rebalancing the body and mind through diet.​

 

From a practical standpoint, the primary goal of this book is to provide organized information that is accessible to acupuncture students, practicing acupuncturists, other established health professionals, and anyone interested in the effects of foods and herbal remedies as analyzed through the lens of Chinese medicine.

 

The book contains a classification of foods and pharmacopoeial products that explains their effects and uses.

 

It provides practitioners of Chinese medicine, naturopaths, and others with a practical analytical tool and a structured framework that allows them to quickly identify which products to recommend during a consultation and to use dietary therapy as a complementary approach to acupuncture or herbal medicine treatments.

 

For those less familiar with the energetic approach, they will discover a new perspective that complements their existing knowledge. Furthermore, this book offers the general public the opportunity to gain a wealth of information from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
