Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Middle-aged and older readers concerned with kidney care and daily conditioning
- Readers who want to understand food-and-medicine homology and improve family dietary arrangements
- Beginners interested in meridian and acupoint health care who want to start from the basics
- Adult children looking for reliable popular health books for their parents
Not a good fit for
- Patients with diagnosed kidney disease who need professional medical treatment plans
- Those hoping the book will provide specific medications or treatment prescriptions
- Readers who prefer evidence-based Western medicine guidelines and clinical data
Reading tips
- Start with the table of contents to locate chapters relevant to your own life, rather than insisting on reading cover to cover.
- Compare the book's dietary suggestions with your family's everyday menus and pick one or two sustainable practices to start with.
- When working with acupoints, confirm locations against the illustrations and use comfortable pressure rather than seeking strong stimulation.
- When reading with family, note down the common misconceptions the book flags as a reference for everyday discussion.

About the author
He Qinghu is an author with an extensive body of work in traditional Chinese medicine, with 58 titles held in the collection, commonly classified under medicine, examinations, and health. Due to limited publicly available information, details of his life, such as birthplace, education, and positions, remain unknown. Judging from the existing works, his writing covers fields including TCM andrology, clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment, medicinal and edible herbs, TCM formula granules, and the application of new-type herbal decoction pieces. His output includes both practical clinical handbooks and theoretical reflections on the study and philosophy of TCM, and also involves research on Mawangdui health-preservation culture and the compilation of a national master physician's clinical experience. Overall, his works combine academic substance with practical application, making them suitable for TCM practitioners, students, and readers interested in health preservation.
Xie Sheng, about whom limited public information is available, writes mainly in the fields of medicine and health, with some work on middle school physics teaching. Six of his works are included in the collection, among them Collaborative Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Acute Pancreatitis with Chinese and Western Medicine, Five-Element Zang-Organ External Therapies in Chinese Medicine, The Theory of Four Images, Spleen-Earth and Six Qi Regulating the Spirit, and Kidney Maintenance. These titles show that his writing focuses on traditional Chinese medicine theory, external therapies, and collaborative Chinese-Western diagnosis and treatment, extending into everyday health preservation. Another work, Core Competency Development and Middle School Physics Teaching, indicates his attention to cultivating disciplinary core competencies in the middle school physics classroom. His works fall under medicine, health, and examinations, reflecting an approach that combines traditional Chinese medicine concepts with clinical practice, health education, and teaching research, and offering useful reference for readers and practitioners in related fields.
