Features: The "Classic Formulas" series consists of five sub-series: ointments, herbal teas, herbal porridge, herbal cuisine, and herbal wines. Most of them originate from traditional Chinese medical classics before the Qing Dynasty, providing a comprehensive introduction to health-preserving formulas for ointments, teas, porridge, cuisine, and wines that have been passed down through the generations in China and currently circulated among the people. The aim is to offer classic knowledge and methods of health preservation to a broad readership. Herbal wines are prepared by combining alcohol with traditional Chinese medicines, offering benefits such as strengthening the body, prolonging life, treating diseases, and preventing illnesses. Alcohol enhances the efficacy of medicinal properties, promotes blood circulation, and invigorates meridians, making it particularly suitable for patients with joint pain, lower back and leg discomfort, rheumatic pain, numbness and stiffness of limbs, and hemiplegia after stroke. Middle-aged and elderly individuals who consume a small amount of energy-boosting and blood-activating herbal wine daily can help prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When compiling this series, we not only strive to select truly effective and proven formulas but also focus on deeply popularizing medical and health care knowledge. We provide detailed explanations of the composition, combination, and application of each formula, and if relevant modern research findings are available, we include them as well. This series serves as both a popular book introducing traditional Chinese dietary therapy and health preservation methods and a reference book that compiles the essence of traditional Chinese dietary therapy and health care.
