#When Taste Became the Medicine That History Forgot
How Balancing the Body’s Natural Energies Helped Me Restore Blood Sugar When Modern Solutions Failed
For thousands of years before hospitals existed, healing was guided by something simple — taste.
Ancient healers understood that the body speaks through flavor, appetite, cravings, and reactions to food. What we now call disease, they recognized as imbalance.
I didn’t fully understand this truth until I became a caregiver.
One evening, a woman I cared for suddenly grew pale. Her hands trembled. Sweat rolled down her face. She whispered, “My sugar is dropping again.”
This was not her first episode. It happened often. Doctors adjusted meals. Gave supplements. Recommended quick sugar fixes. The cycle never stopped.
That was the moment I stopped asking, “How do we raise sugar?”
And started asking, “Why can’t the body regulate itself anymore?”
The answer lay in taste balance — the foundation of CombiHs Herbalism.
##The Forgotten Healing Language of Taste
Modern nutrition counts calories and carbohydrates.
CombiHs Herbalism reads the body through taste energies.
Every natural food and herb carries one or more of six tastes:
- Sweet
- Bitter
- Pungent (spicy)
- Sour
- Salty
- Astringent
These are not just flavors — they are biological forces that:
- Build organs
- Move circulation
- Clean toxins
- Regulate fluids
- Stabilize energy
When these forces stay in harmony, the body heals itself.
When one dominates or weakens, chronic illness appears.
##Why Low Blood Sugar Is a Balance Problem — Not a Sugar Problem
Most people think low blood sugar means the body lacks glucose.
But in energetic healing, it means the body’s sweet-building system is weak.
This system involves:
- The pancreas (energy regulation)
- The liver (storage and release of fuel)
- The spleen (nutrient transformation)
When these organs lose strength, energy becomes unstable.
The result:
- Sudden fatigue
- Shaking
- Dizziness
- Strong cravings
- Mood swings
- Mental fog
Adding sugar only creates quick relief — followed by deeper crashes.
Healing requires restoring balance.
##How Each Taste Restores Blood Sugar Stability
###1. Sweet Taste — Rebuilding the Energy Foundation
Sweet taste is the body’s nourisher.
It strengthens organs, rebuilds tissues, and replenishes stored energy.
But not all sweetness heals.
Natural sweet foods gently rebuild the pancreas and liver so the body can regulate sugar steadily instead of swinging wildly.
This was the first shift I made in her care — strengthening, not spiking.
Within days, her extreme crashes softened.
###2. Bitter Taste — Clearing the Metabolic Pathway
Bitter taste is the body’s cleanser.
It removes heat, congestion, and metabolic blockage — especially in the liver.
When the liver is overloaded, sugar release becomes chaotic.
Gentle bitter herbs improved how her body processed energy.
Crashes reduced further. Digestion improved. Inflammation settled.
###3. Astringent Taste — Holding Energy Steady
Astringent taste tightens and tones tissues.
In blood sugar imbalance, energy leaks too fast.
This taste helped her body:
- Hold nutrients longer
- Slow sugar release
- Prevent sudden drops
Her trembling episodes became rare.
###4. Pungent Taste — Improving Absorption and Circulation
Many people eat enough — but absorb poorly.
Pungent taste activates digestion and blood flow.
Once digestion strengthened, energy stabilized naturally.
Meals finally nourished instead of passing through.
###5. Sour and Salty — Supporting Nerves and Minerals
Balanced small amounts of sour and salty tastes support:
- Nerve function
- Fluid balance
- Adrenal response
This reduced weakness, shakiness, and sudden exhaustion.
##What Happened When All Six Tastes Came Into Harmony
Within weeks, the transformation was clear.
- No more daily crashes
- Cravings faded
- Energy became steady
- Mood stabilized
- Confidence returned
Not through sugar fixes.
Through balance.
Her body relearned how to regulate itself.
##Why This Works for Many Chronic Illnesses
Low blood sugar is only one expression of imbalance.
The same taste principles apply to:
- Diabetes
- Chronic fatigue
- Digestive disorders
- Inflammation
- Hormonal instability
- Organ weakness
Each disease reflects excess or deficiency of specific taste energies.
Correct the balance — and healing begins.

##A Final Word From a Caregiver
I have seen medicine manage symptoms.
I have seen balance restore health.
The body is not broken — it is overwhelmed.
When taste energies return to harmony, healing is no longer forced.
It becomes natural.
Taste is the language nature uses to guide wellness.
When we listen, the body remembers how to heal.
