Features: Chinese medicinal diet therapy has a long history, with records of therapeutic food as early as the Shang Dynasty. Over thousands of years, through the continuous exploration and practice of millions of people, therapeutic food, dietary treatment, and dietary supplementation have been continuously developed and refined. Works summarizing both positive and negative experiences in medicinal diet therapy have been published, becoming a valuable part of China's ancient cultural heritage. Due to various reasons, this treasure has long been neglected and lacked the necessary exploration, organization, and summary. Many materials have been lost or scattered due to their age, which has also made the work of organizing and exploring them more challenging. Since 1980, when the author attempted to establish Chengdu Tongren Tang medicinal diet restaurant, attention has been paid to summarizing practices while conducting them, and extensive collection of relevant materials has been carried out. Ancient books have been consulted, combining the inheritance of heritage with promotion and improvement, leading to the compilation of this book, "Medicinal Diet Therapy for Common Diseases." The book focuses on introducing medicinal diet recipes, efficacy, preparation methods, dietary practices, analysis, and recommendations for various conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, liver diseases, coronary heart disease, lung diseases, kidney-yin deficiency with impotence, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, rheumatism, and menopausal syndrome. This book emphasizes both knowledge and practicality, with a clear focus, easy-to-understand language, and rich content, making it both a treasure trove of traditional medical wisdom and a popular guide to promoting medicinal diet therapy. The entire book is systematic, coherent, scientific, and accessible, with extremely rich content. It is also worth noting that protected wildlife and plants should be protected and should not be consumed arbitrarily. Medicinal materials that require processing should be purchased from traditional Chinese medicine shops for use. When consuming medicinal diet therapy, with the guidance of a physician, the effect of syndrome-based dietary therapy can be achieved. This book is suitable for general family members, health care workers, medical personnel, patients, enthusiasts of medicinal diet therapy, and professionals from various industries engaged in daily work and labor.
