What is a TCM meal planner and how does it work?

A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meal planner helps you choose foods that match your individual constitution. NaturaBalance analyzes your input and provides information on the warming/cooling nature of foods, their TCM properties, and how they fit your general wellness goals.

This helps you understand how different meals may influence your energy, digestion, and overall balance.

 

How do I eat according to my TCM constitution?
