Chinese medicine food therapy approaches diet (meaning what we eat rather than a specific way of eating) the same way it does acupuncture: it’s an energetic practice with directionality. All of our organs have a direction in which their qi flows, & when that qi gets out of balance, that’s when we notice problems.

The primary channels exist to manage the organ system and express the emotions of their respective organs, and when this doesn’t happen, for example being told to suppress your feelings or keep secret experiences that need to be brought to light, the complement channels step in, specifically the divergent channels
