Features: In ancient times, food and medicine were not separated, hence the saying "medicine and food share the same origin." As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed in later generations, more potent herbs were incorporated into mainstream TCM practices, while those with weaker effects and milder properties became auxiliary treatments and daily health-preserving dishes (medicinal diets). Since high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and arteriosclerosis are prone to induce strokes, preventing these three conditions can effectively prevent strokes. Therefore, this book is organized according to these three conditions. In addition to using these medicinal diets to help people prevent and maintain health in daily life, it also introduces how to utilize the properties and flavors of food to create better dishes, along with simple introductions to herbs, their properties, and TCM treatment methods, helping readers understand the correct use of medicinal diets. This book selects dozens of colon-cleansing and detoxifying recipes (including teas, soups, porridge, and other foods), providing concise and practical introductions to the ingredients, preparation methods, and precautions for each recipe.
