Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds the belief that "medicines and foods share the same origin." Medicines are foods, and foods are equivalent to medicines, all sharing the same roots, uses, and effects. According to the principles of TCM, many small medicinal diets (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 symptoms, clearing heat, resolving phlegm, promoting Qi flow, activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and aiding digestion. Some possess both benefits and therapeutic effects. Based on this, we invited several renowned TCM experts, medicinal diet specialists, and culinary masters to explore and compile ancient and modern works on medicinal diets and dietary nourishment, editing and publishing the "Home Medicinal Diets" series, which includes five volumes: Home Medicinal Diets: Tonifying the Kidneys and Boosting Yang, Home Medicinal Diets: Dispelling Wind and Removing Dampness, Home Medicinal Diets: Clearing Heat and Detoxifying, Home Medicinal Diets: Nourishing the Heart and Calming the Mind, and Home Medicinal Diets: Beautifying and Slimming. The aim is to recommend practical and effective small medicinal diets to readers with professional insights. The methods described in this book are simple and convenient, the text is easy to understand, making it suitable for home preparation, highly practical, and delivering significant therapeutic effects.
