According to people's different constitutions or different diseases, foods with certain health care or therapeutic effects are selected, and after reasonable cooking and processing, they become delicious foods with certain color, fragrance, taste and shape.
"Dietotherapy" is not only delicious food, but also has the functions of health preservation, disease prevention and treatment, eating health and prolonging life.
Our ancestors combined "dietotherapy for health" with "prevention and treatment", which can nourish and cure diseases, and created "China dietotherapy".
The relationship between dietotherapy and medicated diet: the concepts of dietotherapy and medicated diet are often confused, and they are both different and related.
"Dietotherapy" is a subject that studies health care, disease prevention and longevity. "Dietotherapy" is a diet without drugs, and "medicated diet" is a diet with drugs, which turns bitter drugs into delicious dishes.
"Medicinal diet" is made by combining food and medicine on the basis of traditional dietotherapy, using traditional cooking techniques and modern processing methods. It has good color, fragrance, taste and shape, and has the effects of health care, disease prevention, rehabilitation and longevity.
? "Medicinal diet" includes: medicinal vegetables, medicinal porridge, medicinal liquor, medicinal tea, etc.
Strictly speaking, "medicated diet" belongs to one of the pharmaceutical dosage forms, but there are many forms and varieties of this dosage form. According to the functional classification, it can be divided into: invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and nutrition, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, strengthening yang and tonifying kidney, calming nerves and improving intelligence, stimulating appetite and promoting digestion, warming interior and dispelling cold, regulating qi and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, calming the liver and calming the wind, relieving exterior syndrome and relieving cough, and clearing away heat and toxic materials.
? Medicinal diet is developed on the basis of dietotherapy, which can be said to be "medicinal therapy" plus "dietotherapy", so it is called "medicinal diet therapy".
The history of "medicated diet therapy" has experienced a development process from scratch, from simple to complex. It is an ancient and emerging clinical practical subject, which has won the favor of people from all walks of life at home and abroad.
