Great simple guide to understanding how the season impact out health and how we can work with the season to achieve optimal health. Also super helpful when studying Chinese Medicine. Give greater depth and explanation to the elements.

The five Chinese elements and guide to nutritional medicine with a year - round eating plan and detox diets and build healthy eating habits.
My instructor suggested this book. I haven't read all the way through, but I'm constantly finding reasons to pick it up.
A good summary, better as reference than to be read cover to cover .

From the library sale--yay!
Total quackary. The introduction, basics and conclusion are pure garbage. Astrology? Seriously?
But that said, I do like the idea of paying attention to the seasons and how our body and mind need different things at different times of the year. So I will continue to keep it around and read each season as it comes.

One of the very best books I've ever read about how to keep balance in the body during the different seasons of the year.... Very important to people living in places like minnesota who experience such extreme cycles.
Balance your body throughout the changing seasons. Explains how body functions change throughout the year, which organs are active. Based in Chinese wellness philosophy.
A little outdated - well, it was written in the 1980s - but still good general information. I liked the Chinese Medicine presentation and explanation.
Very informative but too wordy at times for a beginner and doesn't really mention how seasons and foods are different in different parts of the world.
Good recipes, easy to read, intersting perspective and introduction to Chinese holism, thinking, systems. Just look at the cover; doesn't it look welcoming?
Lovely book - know what to eat with the seasons and why. Buy locally produced food!
