Chinese has lots of food therapies besides Cantonese part. It has nothing related to Herb, honestly speaking.

Hey Marrie, I don't agree with you. Or if it's not herb, it would be some traditional Chinese medicine?

GUESTELL Cooking food with medicinal herbs to increase both their therapeutic and nutritional values is one of the most ancient and original principles in traditional Chinese cuisine. Indeed, within the royal palaces and wealthy households of ancient China, it was always the custom to retain professional herbalists to formulate all of the chinese herbal recipes prepared in the kitchen, after which the cooks did the actual cooking. Herbalists decided which medicinal herbs should be combined with which foods, and these chinese herbal recipes have remained an integral part of traditional Chinese recipes down to the present day, which explains why therapeutically potent herbs such as garlic, ginger and spring onions appear in almost every Chinese dish.

In addition to the basic herbs used to balance both the flavours and essential energies in food, the medicinal herb most highly favoured in Chinese herbal cooking is the tonic variety. Tonic dishes are specially blended combinations of fortifying foods and tonifying herbs, and their primary functions are to increase strength and stamina, enhance energy and immunity, boost sexual vitality and fertility, and prolong life. While many tonic dishes also have curative value for various common illnesses, their main role is to keep people healthy and make them stronger, and extend the enjoyment and vital functions of life to a ripe old age.

I have enjoyed Chinese dishes prepared with herbs for many years; not only are they tasty, the herbal dishes do benefit my health.

GUESTNEFER Hi!
I have bad breath and have tried "hundreds" of products out there, the latest candida medicine for the fungus. I am sick of this, I can't deal with it anymore and I am constantly looking for alternative medicine or anything that could help improve it or kill it for good. I ran across this Yin Yang explanation and I do recall one acupuncturist telling me I had too much heat in my body and he needed to get rid of it with sessions, only that I did two because I couldn't afford it. Please help! What can I do to help the problem? Eating what Yin foods? Thank you!
M.M.

Emm... I think things would be more complicated than just eating Yin food. Everything is a combination and so is your body. What you need to do is to find a balance of it, if you believe the Yin Yang explanation. Bad breath?Emm... There're kinds of reasons... If I'm going to help you, I guess I'll have to ask hundreds of questions and I'm not quite sure whether I could solve the problem or not. But I would like to try. However, I'm just a nutritionist, not a professional doctor and what I'm good at is to give suggestions on your diet and emontionally advise... If you want some more information, feel free to let me know...
