This app is a specialized design tool that precisely analyzes and calculates the efficacy of herbal medicine foods, based on the herbal medicine design theory and herbal medicine data of the Korea Institute of Medicinal Herbs.

1. The Need and Role of the App

Treating diseases with food requires accurately interpreting the dietary prescriptions found in classical medical texts and redesigning them to fit modern dietary habits. Most classical prescriptions are designed primarily for efficacy, neglecting flavor and ease of preparation.

If these traditional prescriptions are used without a recipe, they may be medicine, but not a meal. Therefore, professional herbal medicine design is essential to transforming them into herbal medicine foods that can be consumed as a meal.

2. Features of this App
• Herbal Medicine Prescription-Based Dietary Design: Provides efficacy-focused design based on herbal medicine data from classical texts. • Quantitative Analysis and Evaluation: Based on the input ingredients, the app calculates the medicinal value, flavor, and medicinal properties to predict the therapeutic potential of the food.
• Medicinal Herbal Medicine Design Linked to Clinical Practice: Medicinal herbal medicine design can be conducted based on clinical prescriptions, enabling personalized treatment.
• User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive and simple UI is provided so even beginners can begin designing.

3. Why is this app important?

Delicious food alone cannot cure a patient. No matter how high-quality the ingredients or how complex the recipe, if it lacks clinical efficacy, patients will turn away.

The essence of medicinal herbal medicine design lies in its "therapeutic potential." This app supports the design of medicinal herbal medicine as a tool that contributes to actual treatment, rather than simply consuming it as a magical food or cultural product.
