We all like to eat good food, and we all understand that certain foods enhance our health. In Chinese medicine, that concept is taken a step further, in that food is viewed as medicine you eat three times a day.  

In fact, there is a saying that you should first treat an illness with the proper foods, and if that doesn’t work, only then turn to acupuncture and herbs.
