식치
Food as medicine (식치)
Samgyetang in the heat, kimchi in the cold — folk dietetics, not a clinic.
Seasonal common sense
Korean talk about “heating” and “cooling” foods is folk medicine mixed with climate. Take it as cultural literacy: people eat samgyetang on the hottest days to sweat, and rich soups in winter. It is not a prescription. If you want health advice, ask a clinician, not a stew.
