1. This dictionary app was created to facilitate design work anywhere by simply summarizing the essential elements of medicinal cuisine design from "Yakseon Design" and "Yakseon Design Boncho," the guidebooks for "Yakseon Design" (藥膳設計學), which the Korea Medicinal Herbs Research Institute (Director Ahn Mun-saeng) developed over 12 years. It aims to facilitate design work anywhere by providing a simple summary of the essential elements of medicinal cuisine design.

2. Even those who have not studied medicinal cuisine design can find the information on ingredient names, herbal names, flavors and properties, efficacy, and contraindications. However, the efficacy listed here is a condensed list of 25 different Korean medicine terms describing efficacy, with only two key ones selected. Contraindications indicate ingredients that should not be used together.

3. Ingredient names are expressed in Korean words easily understood by Koreans, Chinese characters or loanwords more widely used than Korean, and herbal names for ingredients completely unfamiliar in Korean.

4. Herbal names, flavors, properties, and the condensed "Gui-gyeong" (referring to two or fewer) are all based on the "Da-sa-jeon (中藥大辭典)" (revised edition), "Junghwa-bon-cho" (中和本草), "Junghwa-hae-yang-bon-cho" (中和海本草), and other ancient documents. The flavors and properties of herbs often vary slightly across eras and schools of thought. This leads to inconsistencies in the process of designing herbal medicines, which strive for objectivity. Therefore, the most comprehensive and reliable existing herbal medicine books have been selected for unification. Therefore, students of herbal medicine design should always base their calculations on the information in this dictionary, even if their own opinions on properties differ.

5. The medicine table, medicine table, the yin and yang of taste, and the ratio of health and wealth are necessary when designing herbal medicine.
