Food is medicine. I truly believe this — and the more I study healing nutrition alongside my TCM practice, the more i see it everywhere.
This week i’ve been deep in the world of miso soup 🍜 — fermented, mineral-rich, deeply warming to the Spleen and Stomach. a bowl of miso isn’t just comfort; it’s a probiotic powerhouse actively tending to your gut lining.
Then there’s seaweed — that silky, mucilaginous texture coats and soothes the digestive tract, supports thyroid function, and from a TCM lens nourishes Kidney yin and clears heat.
…….and can we talk about vegetable broth? 🫙 those onion skins, carrot tops, celery ends, leek greens you’re about to throw away — don’t. simmer them low and slow and what you get is a deeply mineralising, gut-healing broth that costs almost nothing.
I store mine in glass bottles in the fridge. and on the days i feel tired, flat, depleted — before i reach for coffee or sugar — i pour myself a warm cup of broth or a bowl of miso. it’s one of the simplest acts of nourishment you can give yourself. your Spleen qi will thank you 🌿
I’m sharing what i’m learning as i learn it — because this journey is better together.
