Features: TCM dietary and cosmetic medicine is a new discipline. This book is guided by TCM theory, using medicinal diets and therapies to meet the needs of modern people's lives. In China's medical treasury, there is a wealth of classic recipes for beauty, weight loss, and skin whitening. For example, in the bamboo slips unearthed from the Mawangdui site in Changsha, there are recipes for treating verrucae. Over thousands of years of exploration and clinical practice by generations of physicians, TCM cosmetic literature has become richer and more systematic, reaching its perfection during the Qing Dynasty. Works such as "Zizhi Tongjian," "Qianjin Shi Zhi," and "Yixin Fang" all include recipes and methods for "beauty and skin rejuvenation." For instance, "Zhou Fang" has a dedicated section on cosmetics, recording the face creams of Yang Guifei from the Tang Dynasty and other secret recipes like "even the unattractive can shine." The medicinal herbs mentioned in this book can be purchased from herbal shops across the country, while the foods are easily obtainable from supermarkets and farmers' markets. Each medicinal diet includes a recipe, efficacy, preparation method, and serving instructions. The text is simple, clear, and easy to understand, highly practical, and easy to cook. The recipes can be selected and adapted based on individual needs. When reading this book, it is particularly important to follow the dietary and therapeutic recipes under the guidance of an experienced TCM physician, as individual constitutions vary greatly, and responses may differ. If any discomfort occurs during consumption, it should be discontinued. This book is suitable for families, restaurants, hotels, patients, and enthusiasts of dietary and therapeutic cuisine to read and prepare.
