1 Persian/Iranian ~ Mediterranean ~ Vegan Food As Medicine (FAM) Introduction: Persian food has been used as medicine for thousands of years in Persia. The concepts of Gharmi or heat, and Sardi or cold, have been used to indicate the energy state of body. Gharmi state is when your body exhibits high levels of energy, while Sardi indicates lethargic state of body. Different food ingredients bring Gharmi or Sardi to our bodies, when consumed. The traditional treatments as compiled and depicted by Avicenna ( AD), paved the way for the science behind such modalities as FAM. It is very common in the Middle Eastern countries that a doctor, after the medical evaluation, would provide prescription along with food type restrictions or recommendations, to help with the treatment outcome. The symbols of G1/G2/G3 or S1/S2/S3, next to any item, indicate the degree of Gharmi or Sardi for that dish. N is used for Neutral foods. We provide regular seminars to teach about the use of Gharmi or Sardi principles. You can register with MEETUP.COM and become a member of "FOOD AS MEDICINE MEETUP- AUSTIN" to receive updates about the FAM gatherings or offerings.
