Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition
Nutrition Cookbook Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Ayurveda Chinese Medicine Wholefood Diet
Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition is the 753-page cornerstone reference that serious cooks, nutrition students, and holistic-health seekers reach for again and again. First released in 2002, Paul Pitchford’s monumental paperback blends Classical Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and modern nutritional science into one easy-to-navigate manual. Every chapter explains how everyday foods—when chosen and prepared correctly—can correct imbalances, detoxify organs, and restore vitality without expensive supplements.
What makes this particular copy so attractive is its condition: a clean, unmarked, illustrated 1.7 kg textbook that shows minimal shelf wear and no previous-owner inscriptions. It sits flat on the counter at 254 mm tall, so charts, recipes, and the detailed “food as medicine” tables stay open while you cook. Buyers who want authoritative guidance on therapeutic teas, congee combinations, seasonal eating, and anti-inflammatory diets will find every page still crisp and fully legible—ideal for daily kitchen use or clinical reference.
Collectors and home herbalists prize the 2002 North Atlantic Books edition because it retains the original page numbering cited in later academic papers and certification courses. The extensive index, glossaries of Eastern and Western terms, and 200+ line drawings remain unmatched in later reprints. Whether you are upgrading from a well-worn library copy, gifting a future nutritionist, or building a sustainable-living shelf, this gently-used volume delivers the complete “healing foods” canon in one affordable, planet-friendly purchase.
