Synopsis

"Compendium of Materia Medica", written in the Ming Dynasty, is a daily health care "Bible". It contains more than 390 medical theories and prescriptions about health care, longevity, and longevity, and contains dozens of longevity cases. It has made great contributions to the development of health care medicine and geriatric medicine in our country. Li Shizhen followed the five-character gist of the "Nei Jing", elucidated the subtleties of Qihuang health preservation, and incorporated the secrets of longevity from hundreds of schools of thought, and recorded them one by one in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains many views and knowledge on anti-aging, health maintenance and longevity. In addition to containing 285 anti-aging prescriptions and 211 kinds of aging diseases in the supplementary prescriptions related to drugs, it also has distinct medical concepts as theoretical support.

Reader comments

When it comes to health preservation, I also like the "Huangdi Neijing", which, like the "Compendium of Materia Medica", is a classic of traditional Chinese medicine. I especially agree with the concept of "don't treat the existing disease, but treat the disease before it occurs" mentioned there. Just like what the book says, we should prevent diseases before they happen and use diet to take care of our bodies. I like the part about dietary supplements in the book the most. It lets me know that eating can lead to health. Nowadays, our lives are stressful and we need to pay more attention to health. This book gives us good guidance.
