Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds the belief that "medicines and foods share the same origin." Medicines can be considered foods, and foods can be regarded as medicines. They share the same roots, uses, and effects. According to the principles of TCM, many small medicinal diets or health-preserving dishes offer benefits such as improving eyesight, promoting hair growth, enhancing intelligence, calming the mind, beautifying, moisturizing the skin, boosting vitality, and extending lifespan. Others may have therapeutic effects like relieving external pathogens, clearing heat, resolving phlegm, promoting Qi flow, activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and aiding digestion. Some may even combine both benefits. Based on this, we have invited several renowned TCM experts, medicinal diet experts, and culinary masters to explore and compile classic works on medicinal diets and dietary care from ancient and modern times. We have 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 recipes in this book are simple and easy to follow, with clear and concise instructions, making them suitable for home preparation. They are highly practical and demonstrate significant efficacy.
