"Food Materia Medica" can be said to be the master of food and medicine health preservation in the Ming Dynasty. It is a rich and comprehensive monograph on food and medicine therapy existing in my country. There are nearly 400 kinds of materia medica in the book, which are divided into eight categories: water, grain, vegetable, fruit, poultry, animal, fish, and flavor. It is still a classic representative of traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy works.
This book allows you to understand the seven herbs in each solar term. The twenty-four solar terms gather the essence of 168 common Chinese herbal medicines in "Food Materia Medica", allowing you to understand their aliases, their effects, under what circumstances, when and how to eat them, etc. Reading it is like taking us on a retro and elegant herbal journey.
