Features: The therapy of medicinal congee has a long history in China, having been passed down for over two thousand years. It is an important part of the great treasure trove of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and a culmination of the dietary experience accumulated by the working people and medical scholars over the long struggle against diseases. It has made significant contributions to disease prevention, treatment, enhancing people's physical health, and promoting the prosperity of the Chinese nation. With the rise of the "TCM fever" worldwide, TCM and Chinese medicine are spreading globally, and the therapy of medicinal congee will also step out of China's borders. In recent years, the development of TCM and Chinese medicine in China has been rapid, and people's awareness of health has been continuously strengthened. The therapy of medicinal congee has gained increasing attention and popularity, entering households and restaurants and hotels in cities and towns. Based on reviewing a large number of medical works by ancient and modern Chinese medical scholars and collecting and organizing folk congee recipes, the authors have compiled over a thousand congee recipes into this "Health-Enhancing Medicinal Congee Series," which includes 19 major categories of medicinal congee recipes such as Qi-tonifying, blood-nourishing, Yang-tonifying, Yin-nourishing, cold and flu treatment,treatment, summer-heat dispelling, diuretic and dampness-dispelling, cold dispelling, heat-clearing, calming the mind and soothing shock, cough and phlegm relief, Qi-regulating, blood-regulating, digestion-enhancing, purgative, astringent, deworming, and anti-cancer. This volume introduces two major categories of medicinal congee recipes: Yang-tonifying and Yin-nourishing. Each category consists of several to over a hundred congee recipes, and every recipe includes detailed information such as ingredients, preparation methods, dosage, effects, indications, and precautions, enabling readers to understand and use them effectively. This allows for targeted treatment and dietary choices to achieve the goals of disease prevention, treatment, and health improvement. This book is suitable for chefs in restaurants and specialized medicinal diet stores, doctors and nurses in healthcare institutions, as well as general urban and rural residents for reference.
