“Just as everyone has different body types, facial features, and heights, each person also has a unique constitution.

Constitution refers to details about your body’s inner workings, such as whether you tend to feel hot or cold, and which of your organs are stronger or weaker.

For example, some people may need a cardigan even in summer, while others can comfortably wear short sleeves in winter.

Different people can have vastly different constitutions, even among family members, so it’s important to consider each individual’s unique characteristics.

For a thorough diagnosis, consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner is recommended. However, we also provide a simple constitution check on our website to help you gain some understanding on your own.

Constitution can change due to various factors.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of addressing minor health issues before they escalate to the point of needing medical intervention.

If you notice any minor health concerns, it’s a good idea to check your constitution periodically.”

In traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy, ‘balance’ is of utmost importance. Therefore, it is not advisable to consume only the recommended foods because a particular symptom is severe. Doing so can lead to the opposite symptoms. It’s best to focus on the recommended foods that suit your body type and symptoms, while also incorporating other foods. A simple way to achieve balance is by varying the colors and flavors of your diet.

Start by checking your constitution, and then incorporate foods and lifestyle practices that suit you.

• The human body inherently possesses self-healing abilities. The purpose of medicinal cuisine is to support this natural function, not to serve as a cure.
• While medicinal cuisine can support overcoming illness, it cannot cure diseases on its own.
• You should be mindful of food allergies and other individual sensitivities.
• You may experience some initial reactions as your body adjusts.
• This advice is specifically designed for Japanese individuals. Due to variations in your upbringing, diet, and genetics, some foods may not be digestible or suitable for you.”
