Features: In recent years, modern medicine has gradually recognized the irreplaceable role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM health preservation methods are considered the most effective ways to maintain physical health to date. Traditional health foods and TCM health-preserving diets have functions such as anti-fatigue, boosting the immune system, improving blood circulation, promoting metabolism, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-aging.
The author comes from a family with a heritage of TCM and has over 20 years of clinical experience in TCM. He has conducted extensive research on the widely used dietary therapy in TCM health preservation. For example, when discussing diarrhea, the book mentions that edible wild greens like purslane can be used for dietary treatment. The author once treated dysentery in a military unit with a historically high incidence of 90% by simply asking the soldiers to drink a bowl of purslane soup after meals each day. As a result, the dysentery rate in that unit dropped to less than 1% that year.
In this book, the author selects easily accessible natural remedies as dietary materials. He provides 50 dietary recipes for common conditions, including colds, insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes, and even embarrassing issues like bad breath, constipation, and hemorrhoids. With clever combinations and regular consumption of ordinary ingredients, extraordinary effects can be achieved.
