“Medicine and food come from the same source” is a precious concept in traditional Chinese medicine that emphasizes the common origin of medicine and food. It highlights the close connection and interactive relationship between medicine and food, reflecting the significant understanding of the therapeutic and nourishing roles of food in traditional Chinese medicine.
According to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, both medicine and food can exert influences on the human body, adjusting physiological conditions such as the balance of yin and yang and the circulation of qi and blood. Under this concept, many foods are considered to have medicinal value, playing a preventive and regulatory role in daily diet. Additionally, certain herbs and medicines are often integrated into dietary practices to enhance their therapeutic effects.
The concept of “Medicine and food come from the same source” emphasizes the medicinal properties of food and underscores the importance of using dietary practices for body regulation and disease prevention. This aligns with some concepts in modern nutrition, emphasizing the maintenance of health through food. The concept is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture and dietary practices, reflecting a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of nature, food, and health.
Food carries a vital “qi” and embodies local weather elements, including seasonal influences like sunlight, air, and temperature. The concept of “Earth atmosphere” (earthly qi) is equally significant, as soil composition and irrigation water source affect the taste and medicinal properties of food. Apart from absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, food also possesses its own vital energy. In addition to the tangible material energy in food, there is also intangible energy, and we observe that each food has different ways of consumption and varied cooking times, emphasizing the crucial role of preserving its energy essence, including flavor.
