We often say "good medicine tastes bitter". To cure a disease, you must drink bitter medicine. In fact, not all medicines are bitter, but some are delicious. This is a medicated diet. "Combination of medicine and food" not only takes medicine as food, but also endows food with medicine. Medicine depends on food, and food helps medicine. It not only has nutritional value, but also can prevent and treat diseases, keep fit and prolong life. Medicinal diet is a delicious food that gives full play to the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, especially satisfies people's "drug-averse and food-loving" nature, and is easy to popularize and widely popularized. It can be made at home and is a special dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine which is deeply loved by the people.
China people have been inspired by this since ancient times. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are the embryonic period of medicated diet. Huangdi Neijing records "Pinellia japonica rice soup" and "Danggui mutton soup". Medicated diet has gradually developed into such a rich, effective and far-reaching health care method after being sorted and collected by doctors.
"Medicinal diet is not a general nutritious food, but a modern functional food. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and food can make medicine taste, food can help medicine, and change "bitter medicine" into "delicious medicine" Although medicated diet has many functions, such as rich diet, health care and disease prevention, it should follow certain principles in application and should not be abused.
