According to TCM, the world is a harmonious and holistic entity where all living beings are viewed in relation to the surrounding environment. Since ancient times, the Chinese have tried to explain different complicated phenomena by yin yang or wu xing theories. Man is part of the holistic entity and takes his cue from nature; He is influenced directly and indirectly by changes in weather and needs to make corresponding physiological and pathological responses. In ancient time, food medicine has been an integral part of health and healing for over 4000 years. Since the beginning of Chinese civilization to the present day, the Chinese people have always used food as medicine to preserve good health, prevent diseases and to heal ailments. Thousands of years ago, they had already discovered truth in the modern saying, “You are what you eat”. People became better able to use food in their healthcare in the Chinese civilization.
