Summary

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.
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.
