摘要
Chinese food therapy (CFT) is one of the four branches within traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM): acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine or therapy, Tui-na, and food therapy. CFT is a medicinal system utilizing food and herbs to prevent and treat diseases and disharmonies diagnosed using TCVM principles. CFT can be used as an adjunct to existing foods or formulate complete diets in the short or long term. The introduction of CFT into a veterinary practice can be beneficial for both the patient and the health of the practice. The successful incorporation and utilization of CFT does not end with the veterinarian's training. Support staff training and client education are crucial. This chapter discusses the what, why, and how for effective integration of CFT within your practice.

中医食疗是中兽医学的四大分支之一：针灸、中草药治疗、推拿和食疗。 CFT是一种利用食物和草药预防和治疗使用TCVM原理诊断的疾病和不和谐的医疗系统。 CFT可以用作现有食品的辅助剂或配制短期或长期的完全膳食。 将CFT引入兽医诊所可有益于患者和诊所的健康。 CFT的成功整合和利用并不以兽医的培训结束。 支持人员培训和客户教育至关重要。 本章讨论什么、为什么以及如何将CFT有效整合到您的实践中。
