TCVM Food Therapy 101

Learn the foundations of TCVM Food Therapy with Dr. Judy Morgan.

There are five elements, or constitutions, in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). These constitutions help determine personality traits, hair color, predisposition to illness, temperament, and emotions. All five elements play a role in every individual, but one element will be dominant in relation to the others. The five elements interact with each other in multiple ways. They may nourish and support or they may restrain or control another element. Knowing how each element affects the others enables us to use Food Therapy to support or suppress a deficient or excess element using whole food ingredients. In this introduction to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) Food Therapy, Dr. Judy Morgan explains the basic principles of Food Therapy and how to determine what needs to be supported or controlled to maximize health.
