In Traditional Chinese Medicine, specific foods have individual therapeutic properties. A particular food can be used not only to maintain health but also to contribute towards the treatment of a patient. Chinese Dietary Therapy provides a comprehensive guide to a wide range of foods. The book has been translated from a Chinese text and gives information about the way foods are prepared in the West; concepts in, and background to, the development of dietary therapy; general properties of foods and their application; principles and methods of dietary therapy; properties and applications of specific foods, including vegetables, fruit, cereals, nuts, meat, fish and shellfish; recipes and restrictions for common illnesses, and general, food and symptom indexes. Edited for Western practice, this book will find a wide readership amongst all practitioners and students of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as being of interest to any health care professional involved with nutrition and diet.
