Features: Westerners drink herbal tea, while Chinese drink medicinal tea, which has gradually become a trend and is entering every household. Medical research shows that traditional Chinese medicinal herbs indeed help promote normal body function and enhance metabolism, offering health benefits and conditioning effects. Perhaps its tea color is not appealing, and its taste may not be everyone's favorite, but it provides excellent support for health. The medicinal tea introductions in this book are derived from ancient dietary therapy classics, classical medical texts, and folk secret recipes. To facilitate reader reference, the book is organized by symptom-based therapy. The content is divided into 10 major categories and further subdivided into 125 sub-symptoms. Over 140 commonly used medicinal herbs are illustrated for easy understanding. The dosage used is light, the properties are mild, and the taste is mild and not overly bitter. Some can be taken long-term to prevent diseases and regulate body functions. In traditional Chinese medicine, it not only emphasizes "syndrome differentiation and treatment" but also "external and internal integration." This means that in addition to herbal drinks for internal treatment, acupuncture, massage, and acupressure should be combined to stimulate meridians, promoting smooth blood and Qi flow for more significant effects. Therefore, the book includes acupressure therapy in the last few pages, so that for the same symptoms, readers can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
