Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds the belief that "medicinal herbs and food are of the same origin." Medicines are food, and food can be medicine, sharing the same roots, uses, and effects. According to the principles of TCM, many small medicinal diets or dishes 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 classic works on medicinal diets and dietary care from ancient and modern times. We then edited and published the "Home Medicinal Diet" series, consisting of five volumes: Home Medicinal Diet: Tonifying the Kidneys and Boosting Yang, Home Medicinal Diet: Dispelling Wind and Removing Dampness, Home Medicinal Diet: Clearing Heat and Detoxifying, Home Medicinal Diet: Nourishing the Heart and Calming the Mind, and Home Medicinal Diet: Beautifying and Slimming. The aim is to recommend practical and effective small medicinal diets to readers with professional insights. The cooking methods described in this book are simple and convenient, with easy-to-understand text, making it suitable for home preparation. It is highly practical and demonstrates significant efficacy.
