Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds the belief that "medicines and foods share the same origin." Medicines are foods, and foods are akin to medicines, all sharing the same roots, uses, and effects. According to TCM theory, many small medicinal dishes (yaofen) offer health benefits such as improving eyesight, promoting hair growth, enhancing intelligence, calming the mind, beautifying, moisturizing the skin, boosting vitality, and prolonging life. Others have therapeutic effects like relieving external pathogens, clearing heat, resolving phlegm, promoting Qi flow, activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and aiding digestion. Some possess both types of benefits. Based on this, we invited several renowned TCM experts, medicinal dish specialists, and culinary masters to excavate and compile classic works on food therapy and nourishment, publishing the "Home Medicinal Dishes" series, which includes five volumes: Home Medicinal Dishes: Tonifying the Kidneys and Boosting Yang, Home Medicinal Dishes: Dispelling Wind and Removing Dampness, Home Medicinal Dishes: Clearing Heat and Detoxifying, Home Medicinal Dishes: Nourishing the Heart and Calming the Mind, and Home Medicinal Dishes: Beautifying and Slimming. The series aims to recommend practical and effective small medicinal dishes to readers with professional insights. The cooking methods in this book are simple and convenient, with clear and easy-to-understand descriptions, making it suitable for home preparation. It is highly practical and delivers remarkable therapeutic effects.
