Welcome to Pintama Health Acupuncture

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), diet is considered to be the foundation of good health and the first line of defence against disease. A balanced diet should not only include all essential nutrients but also promote a balanced lifestyle of work and rest. Neglecting balance may lead to a host of health problems, including disease, deficiency, and a poor quality of life. Inadequate nutrition can also lead to symptoms such as brain fog, improper sleep habits, cardiovascular disease, pain or skin conditions.

TCM Nutrition focuses on the use of food as medicine to promote health and prevent disease. It is based on the idea that food not only provides essential nutrients but also has energetic properties that can affect the body’s balance and wellbeing. 

TCM believes that the type of food, its preparation, and its consumption are crucial to maintaining good health. Different foods can have different effects on the body, and the way they are cooked and consumed can affect how they are absorbed and utilised by the body. Therefore, TCM emphasises the importance of eating a balanced diet that includes a variety of whole, natural foods and avoiding foods that can disrupt the body’s balance.
