Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds the belief that "medicines and foods share the same origin." Medicines are akin to foods, and foods can be considered medicines—they share the same roots, uses, and effects. According to TCM principles, many small medicinal diets (yaofen) offer health benefits such as improving eyesight, promoting hair growth, enhancing intelligence, calming the mind, beautifying, moisturizing the skin, boosting vitality, and prolonging life. 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, or they may combine both benefits. Based on this, we have invited several renowned TCM experts, medicinal diet specialists, and culinary masters to explore and compile classic works on medicinal diets and dietary nourishment, publishing the "Home Medicinal Diets" series, which includes five volumes: Home Medicinal Diets: Tonifying the Kidneys and Boosting Yang, Home Medicinal Diets: Dispelling Wind and Removing Dampness, Home Medicinal Diets: Clearing Heat and Detoxifying, Home Medicinal Diets: Nourishing the Heart and Calming the Mind, and Home Medicinal Diets: Beautifying and Slimming. The series aims 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 deliver notable therapeutic effects.
