"What you eat supplements what you eat" is not only a traditional concept of China people, but also a method of nourishing the body with animal viscera, which comes from dietotherapy in TCM therapeutics. For western medicine, this is incredible, because westerners don't eat animal offal. Dietotherapy is recorded in Tang Shen Lun of Shang Dynasty, and its efficacy and application are recorded in Shennong Herbal Classic. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, found that animal viscera and human viscera are very similar in organization, shape and function. In his long-term clinical practice, he put forward the academic viewpoints of "treating the dirty with the dirty" and "supplementing the dirty with the dirty", which is a very important rule in China's dietotherapy, and "supplementing the shape with the shape", commonly known as "food supplement".

Modern medicine has scientifically evaluated the dietotherapy of traditional Chinese medicine: first, the nutritional function. For example, animal brains contain amino acids and protein, which have effects on human central nervous system and can treat dizziness and migraine. The second is the role of hormones and enzymes. Many people who are weak like to eat placenta, because it contains gonadotropin and prolactin, which has therapeutic effect on some female diseases; The third is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
