Title: The Ramadan Fast: Chinese Medical Perspectives (Charity Event) Speaker: Imran Mohammed Date: 27th August 2010 at 18:45 Venue: Abrar House, 45 Crawford Place, W1H 4LP Event details: Traditionally, fasting is not only unique to Islam, but has been used for health and spiritual purposes across many cultures and religions. In this discussion, the benefits for the body and the soul will be explored through the lens of Chinese Medicine with special emphasis given to diet, food properties and the relationship to our individual climate and constitution. In Chinese Medicine, different food types may be harmful or helpful depending on one's health status. Certain foods are considered energetically "blood producing" and helpful when fasting, while others are energetically "cold", "hot", "mucus producing" or "drying". In this talk, we will learn about these properties and how to match them to the individual.
