How we feel and the food we choose: Joanne Faulkner (2)

Fibromyalgia in Chinese medicine is treated as a condition of the liver and this talk aims to give a brief overview of this aspect including flavour, colour, season and emotions that correspond to this organ in Chinese medicine. It is in no way prescriptive, but more about providing tools to ask ‘how is the body, how am I feeling and what do I need right now?’

Participants in this workshop will discuss effective, gentle detox for the body, learn about foods that increase energy and decrease pain, discover which foods are best avoided, and understand how to alcalyze the body, reducing pain and stagnation.
