RE: Hello Natural Medicine I'm Alive
Until now, I still can't believe the western half of the earth does not comprehend "heaty"... lol - I guess I'm too "Asianised" - hope you're better now...

I think because many westerners have seasons heatiness just gets lumped into heat exhaustion and too much fun in the sun. Here where it's forever summer we have to be more cautious of dehydration.. Heaty foods are welcomed 8-9 months out of the year in most places.. Watch tho, if you bring a westerner here they will be flushed and sweating profusely the first few weeks, and will be more than obliged to entertain the concept of heaty..

It can be difficult to explain 'heatiness' as one can feel cold (temperature) but have heatiness of the body at the same time. As far as I know all the Asians have this understanding of heaty - Chinese, Indians & Malays... And heaty foods as well as opposite of that is cooling foods. And it can have nothing to do with temperatures you feel... Complicated, huh...
It's an abstract concept for westerners that there is more to us and all life than meets the eye.. Qi or the knowledge of energy systems that western medicine can't explain or quantify is indeed a leap for most western indoctrinated individuals..We are as complex as we are simple. It just depends on the perception or perspective one is accustomed to.. Thousands of years of practice cannot be ignored simply because some gizmos and gadgets don't recognize there value.. It's an inside game in the end anyway..
If someone doubts heaty I challenge them to have a beer or two after eating durian 😆 follow that up with some ginger if they're still not convinced..
