Thanks for this topic. We hardly avoid those foods without joy, haha; that s a good idea to add some other foods to balance the fire element. Do you consider coffee also inducing fire-raising? Have you heard someone say that milk is cold nature product, so espresso + milk can be balanced? cheers
Hi Katie, thank you for your comment. Yes, coffee is hot in nature but it generally lead to heart fire only. Coffee is not tonic but instead drains on the existing resources and brings them upwards, so it's pretty bad to run on coffee. Limited consumption is fine for most people but people with Yin deficiency or qi deficiency should avoid it. Good point about the milk. It's not a bad idea as milk is more material, we call it blood nurturing. Therefore it helps to ground the dispersing/exciting function of coffee. Love your ideas!
Good vid. Love your stuff kick on love it
