Features: This book combines the theory and practical experience of TCM and dietary health preservation, using concise text and vivid illustrations to interpret knowledge of human health preservation and TCM herbal dietary health preservation in an easy-to-understand way. "Dietary health preservation" has been discussed in ancient Chinese medical texts such as The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. Medical sage Zhang Zhongjing first included a dedicated chapter on "dietary treatment" in his medical practice. This shows that TCM, like TCM herbs, emphasizes the four natures (cold, heat, warm, cool) and the five flavors (pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty) of food. Based on extensive practical advice, this book vividly presents the health-preserving value of TCM and dietary medicine, offering readers enlightenment.
