Q&A

​

Q. I'M A VEGAN/VEGETARIAN. DO YOU HAVE REPLACEMENTS IF THE RECIPES COME WITH MEAT？

A. Every meat recipe has a vegetarian/vegan version

​

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR TCM COURSE AND OTHERS DO？

A. Other TCM courses teach more about how to use medicinal herbs, but very little about food therapy. Our TCM nutrition and food therapy courses concentrate on food therapy(dietary therapy).Students will learn full TCM theory and how to apply foods in daily life and disease. After you learn how to apply Food Therapy and other natural healthy methods you won’t have a chance to get serious or chronic diseases(this is also our purpose). You don’t need medicinal herbs. Further more, Only qualified doctors can apply Chinese medicinal herbs. The courses taught by doctors actually are suitable for those who want to become a TCM doctor. It needs several years of study and practice to grasp how to use herbal medicine. But it's different by using foods. Though it still needs constantly practice, foods are safe. Like western medicine system, the course taught by doctors likes western medicine for doctors while our course likes nutrition for dietician. That's why some experts call Chinese food therapy (dietary therapy) as Chinese nutrition. And my certification is Food Therapy Therapist.

​

Q. CAN I USE LOCAL(MY COUNTRY'S) FOOD TO REPLACE SOME INTRODUCED FOODS IN FOOD THERAPY RECIPES？

A. Because you’ll learn full TCM theory you’ll know how to practice by using local foods. For example, if some of your local foods can expel coldness you can mark it and apply it in heat syndromes later.  We hope more friends come and learn this valued system and go back to practice local foods.

​

Q. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE FOOD THERAPY PART. HOW MANY RECIPES DO WE GET？( DRINKS, FOODS, SNACK ETC？) DO WE GET RECIPES WE CAN EASILY USE AT HOME？

A. We didn't count the number. Each related syndrome of each class we'll give several classic recipes which contain curative foods. And we try to teach students how to compose recipes of their own based on these classic recipes. The recipes we shared will be easy to be prepared at home.

​

Q. CAN I USE LOCAL(MY COUNTRY'S) FOOD TO REPLACE SOME INTRODUCED FOODS IN FOOD THERAPY RECIPES？

A. Because you’ll learn full TCM theory you’ll know how to practice by using local foods. For example, if some of your local foods can expel coldness you can mark it and apply it in heat syndromes later.  We hope more friends come and learn this valued system and go back to practice local foods.

​

Q. WILL YOU ALSO TALK ABOUT NATURAL HERBS IN THE CLASS? AND WHERE TO GET SAFE PRODUCTS？

A. Sure! We'll talk about some herbs, which are safe and popular used. And will let you know where you can get them. There three categories in Chinese herbs. 1st, regarded as both medicine and food. We’ll talk about more herbs on this category.

​

Q. DO YOU HAVE ONLINE COURSES？

A. So far we only have this program in Shanghai. Welcome partners from other areas.

Testimonials

Voices from the students-What did they say after learning Food Therapy

Many of the students in our TCM Food Therapy classes are health big fans or experts. That’s why they know the trend and attended the class without hesitation. The following are comments from Miss Estefania and Ms. Gerd. (more comments are coming soon). Both of them finished highest level-Wu Yun Liu Qi study.

 

 

Estefania is vegetarianism and a big fan of yoga. She’s very beautiful and smart. It seems she is never polluted by this complicated world. Her nature beautiful made me feel the world is so beautiful!

 

(from Estefania)

It is been a pleasure to assist(attended) Anna’s food therapy classes. I have to thank her to share with us all her knowledge about both food and herb, regarding Chinese tradition. Food therapy is a really easy and powerful tool that all of us can use to improve our lives, in many different

ways. It is not only to prevent any possible sickness, but also regarding to treat them. I am a truly believer that we are what we eat, and being in China, sometimes, due to the different from western culture, plus t he language barrier, it is not easy to get all the information that Anna kindly shared with us.

 

Examples that I can mention that have been improved my life in China, it goes through relieve stress, insomnia and stomach problems, all of them by adjusting my diet based on my body type and included some Chinese herbs. I have to also mention that with Anna I learnt how to cook

many of the vegetables that are new for me, in a really taste way!

Since my experience it is been positive in many ways, I really recommend the food therapy as a main base to keep our body balance and healthy, and I hope most of you have the chance to join Anna’s classes and learn from her as much as I did. Thanks Anna!    -- Estefania

Gerd is a very elegant and kind lady. She has two very proud men in her life, that is her husband and her son. She is gluten intolerant.

 

(from Gerd)

I met Anna and saw her dedication to TCM Food Therapy. I took her classes and got impressed about her knowledge in this subject. The TCM Food Therapy classes has made me think in a different way about the possibility to treat symptoms of illness, or even more important, to prevent illnesses. I can now use my newfound knowledge to help my body to heal with specific herbs and foods instead of medicine. '                           Gerd Rynvall                            

 

Really appreciate the comments from Gerd and Estefania. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory we know how to prevent disease, and even cure illnesses at early stage by using foods and nature herbs. So we won’t be attacked by serious and chronic disease.

 

TCM is not a simple medicine. It’s important part of Chinese culture as well as Chinese philosophy and Eastern ideology. TCM is an important way of Chinese people recognizing this world and thinking about this world. It deserves us to learn.
