Features: To meet the urgent need of a broad readership for knowledge about health-preserving congee, we compiled this book. The use of congee for nourishment and healing has a long history. In ancient times, people spoke of "nourishing the sick with congee," "strengthening the body with congee," and "generating fluids with congee." In modern times, congee was hailed as the "top of all tonics." With the arrival of the 21st century, the use of medicinal congee for healing has become a fashionable trend, sweeping across the country, and has become an important means of health preservation and care for many families. This book is compiled based on the collection of ancient and modern Chinese medical and pharmaceutical congee recipes. It is divided into two parts. The first part, "Medicinal Congee for Nourishment," introduces various practical congee recipes suitable for each season, following the changes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each recipe is described in detail according to ingredients, preparation method, efficacy, main indications, and notes to help readers choose the most suitable nourishing congee for themselves. The second part, "Medicinal Congee Therapy," provides corresponding congee prescriptions for various diseases, elaborating on ingredients, preparation method, efficacy, and main indications in a clear and orderly manner. Based on the principle of food and medicine being the same, it introduces the medical effects and pharmacological properties of medicinal congee in a popular and specific way, offering ordinary people with good methods for preventing and treating diseases, as well as health-preserving and health-care congee recipes. This book can be said to combine medical treatment, food, and health preservation in one volume. The ingredients used in these congee recipes are readily available, the operations are simple and easy to learn, and they are highly scientific and practical. The congee recipes selected have been proven effective by generations of medical practitioners, and their nutritional benefits and non-toxicity have been scientifically verified by modern research. Therefore, this book is not only a valuable resource for family health care but can also serve as a reference for clinical physicians to guide patients in recovery and adjustment. It will greatly benefit those who are passionate about dietary health preservation.
