Interestingly, after you study this video course, you will realize that for thousands of years, ancient sages study properties and functions of foods, and for that matter, medicines, always in relation to the body system functioning for mental, physical and emotional development.
It is not just the feeling of hunger that we need food to eat. Animals will do the same, they feel hungry and they look for food to eat. But humankind, with thinking capability, learn from experience what foods are safe and good to eat.

It is not just the feeling of hunger that we need food to eat. Animals will do the same, they feel hungry and they look for food to eat. But humankind, with thinking capability, learn from experience what foods are safe and good to eat.
Ancient sages made more careful observation, what foods to eat to make one feels stronger, sleep better, or recover from sickness faster.
They also observed, certain foods are fit for daily consumption. Other types of foods are suitable only when one is not feeling well or sick. They called these foods Chinese Medicine.
Both foods and Chinese Medicine come from nature. The former for daily consumption and the later for special situations like in sickness.
In this video course, we explain how the underlying principles are the same for both Chinese Medicine and foods.
The same set of principles and theories are the same for Chinese Medicines and foods for daily consumptions. We can also say Chinese Medicine and Foods are like cousin brothers. This notion is certainly cannot be applied to western medicine, nor western nutrition theory.
Over time, the contents of this video course "Chinese Medicine & Home Kitchen" will expand, with more additional information on the properties and functions of Chinese Medicines and foods, which you can use or apply.
There may be special requests from learners of this video on some other common foods, relevant to them and to their interest. Then the properties and functions of such foods will be incorporated.
Hence do revisit this video course often.
