Features: Traditional Chinese medicinal diet has a long history and is a treasure of Chinese culinary culture. Medicinal diet is different from ordinary food and medicine, but rather a special food with specific therapeutic and health benefits, capable of performing similar functions to medicine. Medicinal herbs transformed into diet are not only delicious but also highly effective. Moreover, due to the combination of medicine and food, it surpasses medicine in its benefits and exceeds food in its refinement. To ensure quality from the source, in 2002, the Ministry of Health of China issued the "List of Items That Are Both Food and Medicine," "List of Items That Can Be Used in Health Foods," and "List of Prohibited Items in Health Foods" to regulate the use of medicinal diet. The medicinal herbs selected in this book are basically covered by the national regulations on herbs that can be used in medicinal diets, with only a few rarely used herbs that are difficult to obtain in traditional Chinese medicine stores and lack practical applicability excluded. This book strictly adheres to the standard use of medicinal herbs and ensures precise dosage for herbs that can be used in health foods, guaranteeing the safety of medicinal diets.
