Food Remedies
Phlegmatics seem to do well on both vegetarian and traditional diets. Milk, dairy products (including cheeses), wheat (and other foods containing gluten), refined sugar, starches and flours, very cold and icy foods and drinks and moist, creamy, rich foods will bother the Phlegmatic temperament.
The idea is to provide your body with nutrients opposite your dominant humors to correct humor imbalances.
Phlegmatics have a primarily COLD/WET constitution. You would choose HOT and DRY nutrients to create balance and restore health and wellness.
HOT Choices: Choose from onions, garlic, ginger, chicken, horseradish, walnuts, duck, lamb, garbanzo beans, lentils, lemon, apple, olives, aged cheeses, walnuts, peppers, cayenne, chives, astragalus root, chai, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and any foods or nutrients that stimulate the metabolism or make one sweat. Foods served hot or roasted are also considered "heating" foods and tend to increase warmth.
DRY Choices: Dry food choices are also considered "Light". Choose from rice cakes, popcorn, corn, most beans (such as garbanzo), sunflower seeds, pomegranates, asparagus, dried fruits, aged cheeses, any foods or nutrients that are physically dry, such as bread or crackers, or that aid in eliminating excess body fluid through sweating or urinating.
HOT or DRY Herb Choices: Astragalus (HOT/DRY), holy basil (HOT/DRY), rosemary (HOT/DRY), turmeric (HOT/DRY), motherwort (Neutral/DRY), valerian (WARM), ginger (WARM), cannabis (WARM/DRY), wild yam (WARM/DRY), calendula (WARM/DRY), hyssop (WARM/DRY), club moss (WARM/DRY), golden seal (HOT/DRY), nettles (HOT/DRY), echinacea (HOT/DRY), elecampane (HOT/DRY), lavender flowers (HOT/DRY), thyme (HOT/DRY), basil (WARM), hawthorn berry (WARM), safflower (WARM), wild cherry bark (WARM), juniper berry (WARM), watercress (WARM), skullcap (WARM), rue (WARM), dong quai (WARM)
You'll find that many of the same foods considered HOT are also DRY, but not all.
Neutral food and herbs choices are raspberries, elderberries, calendula flowers, flaxseed, chaste berry, carrots, parsley, oat straw, parsley, psyllium, motherwort, blackberries, and lemon balm.
The dietary information above is not condition-specific.
