Features: During the writing of this book, the author carefully selected and included these secret recipes, adhering to the principle of clinical practicality. However, some literature, especially ancient texts, are from long ago and written in archaic language, which may be difficult for some readers to understand. Therefore, when using these recipes, it is advisable to consult traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and relevant experts. Fortunately, besides pine resin, which must be properly processed and strictly dosed when taken internally, other parts of the pine tree such as pine needles, pine nut kernels, and pine flower powder are mild in nature, without side effects, and can be considered part of green food. Readers may use them at their own discretion.
Lastly, it must be reminded that whether these secret recipes are effective or not ultimately depends on whether they are suitable for the specific condition. Since people vary in gender, age, and location, and diseases differ in nature (cold, heat, deficiency, excess), it is essential not to blindly copy or use them. They must align with the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and must be consistently applied to achieve the desired results. This book presents ancient and modern secret recipes for treating diseases and promoting longevity using various parts of the pine tree—such as pine needles, pine resin, pine knots, pine bark, pine cones, pine nut kernels, pine flower powder, pine roots, pine brushes, and pine branches.
