Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy and health preservation, and the field of food and medicine homology. Specifically, it involves an original four-season health and wellness medicinal diet formula system and standardized preparation process that relies on the local authentic Chinese herbal medicine resources of Mount Emei and is adapted to the four seasons climate of the Sichuan mountainous region. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine dietary therapy emphasizes adapting to local conditions, time of year, and individual circumstances. The soil, water, and climate characteristics of a region directly determine the suitability and therapeutic effects of medicinal diets. Mount Emei is located on the southwestern edge of the Sichuan Basin, with significant vertical elevation differences and a distinct three-dimensional climate, resulting in four distinct seasons: dampness in spring, heat in summer, dryness in autumn, and cold in winter. People who live in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing for extended periods are prone to regional sub-health issues such as dampness affecting the spleen and stomach, dryness in autumn damaging the lungs, cold in winter damaging Yang energy, and stagnation of Qi due to prolonged sitting.

[0003] Existing medicinal diet recipes, health patents, and dietary therapy techniques on the market mostly use nationally applicable ingredients and standardized ancient formulas, which have three major technical defects: First, the medicinal materials are highly universal and lack regional specificity, making them unsuitable for the special climate of Mount Emei; second, the formulas are singular and unsystematic, failing to achieve precise seasonal conditioning; and third, traditional ancient formulas often contain potent medicinal properties and outdated combinations, making them unsuitable for the new sub-health state caused by modern people's late nights, sedentary lifestyles, and irregular eating habits. Long-term consumption can easily lead to problems such as coldness damaging the spleen, stagnation of nourishment, and imbalance of yin and yang.

[0004] Mount Emei, known as the "natural medicine storehouse" of Sichuan and Chongqing, boasts unique pristine medicinal and edible resources, such as Emei fritillaria, Emei ginseng, Emei cinnabar lotus, Emei lobelia, Emei mahonia leaves, Emei dancing ginger, and wild allium macrostemon. These resources are mild in nature, highly authentic, and safe for long-term consumption. However, currently, there is a lack of systematic formulation and application, standardized preparation processes, and a comprehensive seasonal health and wellness system, resulting in a significant gap in the development of these local medicinal and edible resources. Therefore, this invention presents an original, researched and developed seasonal medicinal diet and wellness system specifically for the Emei region, filling this technological gap. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing general medicinal diet techniques, such as poor regional adaptability, incomplete system, weak targeting, and low modern adaptability. It provides a local medicinal diet system and preparation method for health preservation in Emei Mountain, which is based on seven unique local medicinal herbs. It constructs a dietary therapy system that is regionalized according to the four seasons, treats symptoms, is mild and safe, and can be industrialized.

[0006] This invention discloses a local medicinal and edible homology seasonal health and wellness dietary system, which includes four functional series and nine original medicinal diet recipes. All of them are prepared using native medicinal and edible homology herbs from Mount Emei. The core local medicinal and edible ingredients include: Emei Fritillaria cirrhosa, Emei Codonopsis pilosula, Emei Cinnabar Lotus, Emei Lobelia chinensis, Emei Mahonia japonica leaf, Emei Dancing Ginger, and Emei Wild Allium macrostemon.

[0007] The lung-nourishing and dryness-relieving medicinal diet series includes: Fairy Mountain Fritillaria and Pear Soup: 3-5g of wild Sichuan fritillaria from Emei Mountain, 1 high-altitude snow pear, 8-12g of rock sugar, and 5-7g of dried lily bulbs; Emei Lung-Clearing and Nourishing Soup: 9-11g of dried Emei Lobelia chinensis, 180-220g of local lean pork, 1-3 slices of ginger, and 1-3 red dates.

[0011] Emei Wild Allium macrostemon and Stomach-Nourishing Porridge: 28-32g of wild fresh allium macrostemon, 90-110g of rice, and appropriate amount of shredded ginger.

[0012] Stir-fried eggs with garlic chives to regulate qi: 45-55g fresh garlic chives, 2 eggs, salt, and cooking oil as needed.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for preparing a traditional Chinese medicine and food-based health-preserving diet from Mount Emei, comprising: Lung-nourishing and dryness-relieving medicinal diet: Uses a double-boiling process, maintaining a low and constant temperature for 40 minutes; Spleen-strengthening and deficiency-tonifying medicinal diet: adopts a two-stage stewing process of first boiling over high heat to remove fishy smell and lock in freshness, and then simmering over low heat for 90 minutes. Heat-clearing and dampness-removing herbal teas: use a steeping process of 10-15 minutes in boiling water, without prolonged boiling; Warming and Qi-regulating medicinal diet: Fresh medicinal ingredients are pre-treated to remove fishy smells and enhance aroma; ginger and qi-regulating herbs are first stir-fried / boiled to bring out their aroma.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention (1) Strong regional adaptability: It is specifically adapted to the four seasons of humid, hot, dry and cold climate of Emei Mountain and Bashu Mountain, solving the technical pain point of poor regional adaptability and weak conditioning effect of general medicinal diet.

[0015] (2) Safe and mild medicinal properties: Based on the authentic properties of local medicinal materials, the formula is optimized and the bias of traditional ancient prescriptions is eliminated, so that it can be consumed in the diet for a long time without obvious toxic side effects and is suitable for sub-healthy people of all ages.
