Features: The therapy of medicinal congee has a long history in China, having been passed down for over two thousand years. It is an important part of the great treasure trove of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the accumulated dietary experience of laborers and medical scholars in their long battle against diseases. It has made significant contributions to disease prevention, treatment, enhancing people's physical health, and promoting the prosperity of the Chinese nation. With the global rise of "TCM fever," TCM and Chinese medicine are spreading worldwide, and the therapy of medicinal congee will also step out of China's borders. In recent years, the development of TCM and Chinese medicine in China has been rapid, and people's awareness of health has been continuously strengthened. The therapy of medicinal congee has gained increasing attention and popularity, entering households and restaurants and hotels in cities and towns. Based on reviewing a large number of medical works by ancient and modern Chinese medical scholars and collecting and organizing folk congee recipes, the compilers have gathered over a thousand congee recipes to create this "Health-Boosting Medicinal Congee Series," which includes 19 major categories of medicinal congee recipes such as invigorating qi, enriching blood, boosting yang, nourishing yin, treating colds, dispelling wind-dampness, cooling summer heat, promoting diuresis and dampness, expelling cold, clearing heat, calming the mind and soothing shock, stopping cough and resolving phlegm, regulating qi, regulating blood, aiding digestion, purging, astringent, expelling parasites, and anti-cancer.

Each category consists of several to over a hundred congee recipes, and each recipe includes detailed information such as ingredients, preparation methods, dosage, effects, indications, and precautions, enabling readers to understand and use them effectively. This allows for targeted treatment and dietary choices based on specific conditions, ultimately achieving the goals of disease prevention, treatment, and health enhancement.
