IMPORTANT: This video, as with all videos on the The Chinese Medicine Podcast are NOT a replacement for a health professional diagnosis. While Marie may answer your questions, all answers are not of a professional consultation level - it is impossible to check your pulse through the internet, hence Chinese medicine cannot be practiced properly through the internet.

If it is an emergency call 000 in Australia. If you are unsure if this advice is appropriate for your individual situation ask your own practitioner before applying any diet or lifestyle techniques /concepts discussed in this video.

I will definitely look into eating the rice porridge... This has been helpful... I'm taking my notes 😊

Thank you. I'm going to try this in my croc pot with bone brooth. I have tried a brown rice diet with sesame seeds and where you had to drink a lot of rice water, but I gave up after 3 days. I felt so bad. But I think this could work. I have ME so I need to think more about how my diet affects me.

For someone with chronic health issues (IBS/digestive troubles, brain fog) would you say it's more beneficial to do acupuncture and herbs over diet therapy? Could diet therapy be seen as supplemental? Detrimental if not followed correctly? Love your channel, been a great help!
