Warming the Center

Traditional Chinese Medicine is pretty much against eating energetically cold foods unless it is spring or summer. The theory is that cold foods require a lot more energy to break down which, can lead to bloating, gassiness and fatigue.

Energetically speaking the lower abdomen or dan tian should also be kept warm for enhancing female fertility. A typical American diet is loaded with cold, sweet drinks, raw salads and coffee. This can create a sluggish, bloated digestive system, excessive mucus, poor circulation and coldness in the uterus.

Traditional foods that support the uterus are:

* Sesame oil
* Orange foods: pumpkin, sweet potato, yams
* Red foods: strawberries, pomegranate
* Black foods: molasses, black beans, seaweeds, miso
* Eggplant
