Features: Chinese medicine diet therapy emphasizes the concept of "diet," primarily using food as the main component, supplemented with appropriate medicinal herbs. By carefully selecting the properties and flavors of medicinal herbs, and through the combination with food and refined cooking techniques, as well as the continuous improvement of modern culinary technology in terms of taste and color, Chinese medicine diet therapy avoids excessive medicinal odors. This meets people's natural inclination to dislike medicine but prefer food. The content of this book is quite rich, covering the daily health benefits of 200 types of food and 5,000 economical and effective Chinese medicine diet therapy plans. It includes an overview of Chinese medicine diet therapy, ingredients for Chinese medicine diet therapy, common disease diets, health-preserving and strengthening diets, beauty and health diets, and seasonal health-preserving diets. For each Chinese medicine diet therapy, the book provides scientific explanations of the ingredients, effects, indications, dietary restrictions, and preparation methods. The content is easy to understand and highly practical, making it suitable for hospital Chinese medicine diet therapists, doctors, nutritionists, nurses, housewives, and enthusiasts of Chinese medicine diet therapy. Since the indications for Chinese medicine diet therapy vary from person to person, those who prepare self-treating diets should consult a traditional Chinese medicine physician.
