The Meridian
The document discusses circadian rhythms and how they relate to traditional Chinese medicine meridian cycles. It explains that physiological processes in the body fluctuate over a roughly 24-hour cycle. In Chinese medicine, this is understood as energy flowing through 12 organ meridians in sequence over a day. Maintaining balance between yin and yang aspects is important for total health. The document then provides a table describing the meridian associations and peak energies for each two-hour period over a day.
Disease
Ayurveda is a medical-metaphysical healing science that focuses on maintaining balance in one's life through diet, lifestyle, and herbs in order to prevent disease and promote health. It views the body as having three main energies - vata, pitta, and kapha - which must be balanced. When these energies are imbalanced, disease can occur. Ayurveda aims to balance the doshas, remove toxins from the body, and restore the free flow of energy in order to cure diseases and maintain well-being. Yoga and adding cosmic energy through various means can heal diseases by up to 80% by balancing energy flow in the body.
Chinese Food Therapy
This document discusses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its approach to food therapy. TCM views the body and disease differently than Western medicine, focusing on balances between yin and yang and the five elements. In TCM, foods have yin or yang properties and are associated with different elements. The cycles of the five elements describe how the elements interact and can be used to determine which foods to eat or avoid for different health conditions. Food therapy in TCM considers additional factors like season, climate, and an individual's body type to treat or prevent illness.
Chinese nutritional therapy
The document provides an overview of Chinese nutritional therapy according to Kyle Smith, a practitioner of Oriental medicine and acupuncture. It discusses the history and principles of Chinese dietary therapy, focusing on balancing hot and cold foods to maintain health. It describes how food nourishes qi or life energy, and recommends dietary approaches based on seasonal rhythms and patterns diagnosed in Chinese medicine. These include breakfast, lunch, and dinner guidelines as well as food classifications according to their energetic and therapeutic properties. The conclusion emphasizes that Chinese nutritional therapy can prevent and restore balance to support health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Dietary Guidelines
This document discusses dietary therapy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It explains that TCM views the human body's lifespan as akin to burning a candle, with prenatal and postnatal essence providing the wax. Eating properly allows one to store postnatal essence and avoid depleting the candle prematurely. The two most important organs for digestion are the stomach and spleen. The stomach requires a warm temperature for optimal digestion, while cold foods can damage stomach yin or spleen yang. Chewing food thoroughly and eating mostly cooked foods helps create a warm, stew-like environment in the stomach. Certain foods like pork are more dampening than others like chicken or beef. The document also discusses food flavors and temperatures in TCM.

Keeping your immune system strong through a healthy lifestyle is important for overall health and disease prevention. A strong immune system relies on good nutrition from healthy eating, exercise to maintain weight and heart health, adequate sleep to energize immune cells, and regular doctor visits to catch health issues early and stay informed. Avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and drugs helps maintain an immune system's ability to fight diseases.
ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM OF MEDICINE
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that originated around 900 BC, making it one of the oldest written systems of medicine. It focuses on using herbal medicines derived from plants to treat illnesses.

Immunity
This document discusses the importance of immunity and ways to improve and maintain immunity throughout life.

Prevention of cancer
The document discusses cellular hypoxia and its role in cancer development. It notes that modern medicine views the body as a biochemical unit, while Vedic medicine sees it as an energy system influenced by diet, lifestyle and thoughts.

Siddasystemofmedicine by pooja
Siddha medicine originated in Tamil Nadu during the 1st Tamil Sangam period between the 6th and 7th centuries BC. It is based on the principles that the universe and human body are made up of five fundamental elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether. These elements combine to form three doshas (humors) - vatham, pitham, and karpam - which maintain equilibrium in the body. Disease occurs when this equilibrium is disrupted. Treatment focuses on restoring balance through herbal preparations made of the five elements to substitute for the imbalance. Key preparations include bhasmas, churnas, kashayas, lehyas, ghees, and chunnas.
