Food Remedies
Sanguines do well on a very light vegetarian diet (meaning some meats, eggs, and fish). Not eating enough vegetables and fruits and overeating meat will bother the Sanguine temperament.
To correct humor imbalances, the idea is to provide your body with the nutrients opposite your dominant humors. Sanguines have a primarily HOT/WET constitution. You would choose COLD and DRY nutrients to create balance and restore health and wellness.
COLD Choices: Cold foods are also considered "Cooling". Choose from mint, banana, most tropical fruits, milk and dairy, fresh cheeses, lettuce, melons, cucumber, watermelon, fish, dandelion leaves and root, bee pollen, alfalfa, plantain, beets, wild lettuce, most bitters, and any foods or nutrients that sedate the metabolism and relieve excess heat.
DRY Choices: Grains, bread, cereals, crackers (foods that are dry in the mouth), lentils, barley, and coffee.
COLD or DRY Herb Choices: red raspberry (COLD), Chinese rhubarb (COLD), lemon peel (COLD), Oregon grape root (COLD), vervain (COLD), self heal (COLD), uva ursi (COLD), aloe vera (COLD), white willow (COLD), milk thistle (COLD), passionflower (COOL), bladderwrack, kelp, Irish moss (COOL), black cohosh (Cool), peppermint (COOL), elderflowers (COOL), feverfew (COOL), Saint John's Wort (COOL/DRY), white Sage (COOL/DRY), skullcap (COOL/DRY), horehound (COOL/DRY), raspberry (COOL/DRY)
Neutral food and herbs choices are raspberries, elderberries, calendula flowers, flaxseed, chaste berry, carrots, parsley, oat straw, parsley, psyllium, motherwort, blackberries, and lemon balm.
