Traditional Chinese Medicine, With a Western Perspective

 

While modern medicine has made great advances in helping to cure and treat illness, one author wants to remind you traditional Chinese medicine can also play a role in helping you live a healthier and more active life. Ellen Smith wrote the book Nutritional Health with Chinese Medicine. She came by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about the book, and Chinese medicine and how it can help you. Ellen told Tonia she wants to make this more understandable and accessible, and act as a translator of sorts. Ellen suggests recipes, along with foods to avoid in an effort to help you treat what might ail you. And while she notes these are not medical recommendations, Ellen says there's lots to learn about here.
