Features: Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, this book explores how the nutritional components or other substances in food act on specific organs and systems of the human body to achieve the goals of harmonizing qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, preventing and treating diseases, and enhancing intellectual development. Of course, dietary therapy is not always the first choice for all diseases. It is often the primary treatment method when the condition is mild, the pathogenic factor is weak, or during the later stages of the disease when the body's defensive Qi is weakened and the pathogenic factor is minimal. Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that medicine and food share the same origin, and that both can be used for healing. Medicine is used to expel pathogenic factors, while food is used to nourish the body. The two work closely together and are interdependent. For special conditions, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly, using dietary therapy as a complementary approach. For general conditions, dietary therapy can be tried first. If it does not yield results, medication should be administered in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment.
