In Chinese medicine the sweet flavour corresponds to the organs of the Spleen/Stomach. Therefore craving for the sweet stuff, as opposed to salt or sour, would tell us that the Spleen/Stomach is out of balance. The colour is orange and late summer is the season representing the abundant , sweet harvest of Mother Earth. The emotions are cravings, addictions in the negative and satisfied comfort in the positive. From the Chinese perspective there is nothing wrong with sweet food, however if we over indulge, as with any area of life it will cause problems, physically and emotionally. For the month of September in Chi Flow with Jo we will cover all areas of WHY we crave the sweet stuff according to Traditional Chinese Medicine and how we can take steps to stop an addictive cycle.
