Chinese Medicinal Food (Yao Shan / 药膳)
Ancient Chinese — documented in Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine (2nd century BC)
Yao shan — medicine food — is the integration of Chinese materia medica (herbs, seeds, animal parts) into everyday cooking for health maintenance and treatment. Key yao shan ingredients: astragalus (huang qi) for immunity in chicken soup; wolfberries (gou qi zi) for eyesight; red dates (hong zao) for blood nourishment; goji and lotus seeds in congee for calming; dried longan for fatigue. The philosophy is that food is the best medicine.
