Chinese food therapy is a mode of dieting rooted in Chinese beliefs concerning the effects of food on the human organism, centered on concepts such as eating in moderation. Its basic precepts are a mix of folk concepts drawn from traditional Chinese medicine. Food therapy has long been a common approach to health among Chinese people both in China and overseas, was popularized for western readers in the 1990s with the publication of books like The Tao of Healthy Eating and The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen. A number of ancient Chinese cookbooks and treatises on food display an early Chinese interest in food, but no known focus on its medical value; the literature on "nourishing life" integrated advice on food within broader advice on how to attain immortality. Such books, are only precursors of "dietary therapy", because they did not systematically describe the effect of individual food items. In the volume on "Fermentations and Food Science" of Joseph Needham's Science and Civilization in China, H. T. Huang considers the Recipes for Fifty-Two Ailments and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon as precursors of the "dietary therapy" tradition, the former because it recommends food products as remedies for various illnesses, the latter because it discusses the impact of food on health.

The materia medica literature, exemplified by the Shennong Bencao Jing discussed food products, but without specializing on them. The earliest extant Chinese dietary text is a chapter of Sun Simiao's Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold, completed in the 650s during the Tang dynasty. Sun's work contains the earliest known use of the term "food therapy". Sun stated that he wanted to present current knowledge about food so that people would first turn to food rather than drugs when suffering from an ailment, his chapter contains 154 entries divided into four sections – on fruits, vegetables and meat – in which Sun explains the properties of individual foodstuffs with concepts borrowed from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: qi, the viscera, vital essence, as well as correspondences between the Five Phases, the "five flavors", the five grains. He set a large number of "dietary interdictions", some based on calendrical notions, others on purported interactions between foods or between different flavors.

Sun Simiao's disciple Meng Shen compiled the first work devoted to the therapeutic value of food: the Materia Dietetica. This work has not survived, but it was quoted in texts – like the 10th-century Japanese text Ishinpō – and a fragment of it has been found among the Dunhuang manuscripts. Surviving excerpts show that Meng gave less importance to dietary prohibitions than Sun, that he provided information on how to prepare foodstuffs rather than just describe their properties; the works of Sun Simiao and Meng Shen established the genre of materia dietetica and shaped its development in the following centuries. An abundant literature developed in China around the medicinal uses of food. A mid-ninth-century work, now lost, called Candid Views of a Nutritionist-Physician discussed how food could treat various disorders, while several works from the Song dynasty explained how to feed the elderly to extend their life. In the early 14th century, Hu Sihui, who served as Grand Dietician at the court of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, compiled a treatise called the Proper and Essential Things for the Emperor's Food and Drink, still recognized in China as a classic of both materia medica and materia dietetica.

Influenced by the culinary and medical traditions of the Turko-Islamic world and integrating Mongol food stuffs like mutton into its recipes, Hu's treatise interpreted the effects of food according to the scheme of correspondences between the five phases, systematized by northern Chinese medical writers of the Jin dynasty and Yuan eras. Before that period, food materials had not yet been comprehensively assigned to the five flavors systematically correlated with specific internal organs and therapeutic effects. Chinese understandings of the therapeutic effects of food were influential in East Asia. Cited in Japanese works as early as the 10th century, Chinese dietary works shaped Korean literature on food well into the Joseon period. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the imperial court of the Qing dynasty ordered several works on Chinese food therapy translated into Manchu. Although the precepts of Chinese food therapy are neither systematic nor identical in all times and places, some basic concepts can be isolated.

One central tenet is that "medicine and food share a common origin", that food materials can therefore be used to prevent or treat medical disorders. Like medicinal drugs, food items are classified as "heaty" or "cooling". In popular understanding, "heaty" or "heatiness" food is "high-calorie, subjected to high heat in cooking, spicy or bitter, or'hot' in color", includes red meat, innards and deep-fried goods, alcohol, they are to be avoided in the summer and can be used to treat "cold" illnesses like excessive pallor, wa

The Sulphur Institute, or TSI, is an international non-profit organization which acts as a global advocate for sulfur and sulfur producers. The Sulphur institute was founded in 1960 working with companies involved in the mining of sulfur using the Frasch process. With the increase of the Claus process for extracting sulfur from natural gas and oil, TSI's members now include multinational energy companies; the Sulphur Institute connects these sulfur producers with sulfur's largest consumer markets, transporters and service providers. Today, The Sulphur Institute's member companies include a host of companies from five continents involved with producing, trading, adding value, or supplying services to the sulfur industry. TSI is engaged in event planning and publishing print materials for the benefit of all sulfur stakeholders, their work includes international meetings, developing field activities in regions where sulfur has an economically beneficial role. TSI provides individuals with access to sulfur related publications.

In addition to these meetings and printed works, TSI has programs in four main aspects of the sulfur industry: Environment and Safety. TSI's Environment and Safety program addresses environmental and safety issues surrounding the transportation and storage of sulfur; the Sulphur Institute's program allows regulatory agencies and industry stakeholders to connect, exchange knowledge, develop practices which improve the safety of the industry. The Sulphur Institute provides members and non-government agencies, industry stakeholders accurate information on sulfur. TSI has served as a source of industry information for many publications including the Wall Street Journal. TSI is quoted by publications within the industry as well; the information gathered by TSI is made available through a number of publications and speaking engagements. The Sulphur Advocacy program encourages the use of sulfur worldwide in many applications, to promote sulfur as a valuable fertilizer. "Through advocacy and promotion, the program seeks to facilitate increased sulfur demand by removing hurdles for private industry to develop commercial scale sulfur-based fertilizer businesses."TSI has worked in China and India to develop and promote the use of sulfur.

China is one of the major consumers of sulfur because of its phosphate fertilizer industry. TSI began encouraging sulfur market growth in China beginning in 1994 and has continued working with Chinese organizations. In the 1984 The Sulphur Institute began working with representatives in India to encourage similar growth in sulfur usage. TSI worked with the International Fertilizer Industry Association and the Fertilizer Association of India to provide activities and resources on the use of sulfur in agriculture. TSI serves as a spokesperson for the sulfur industry with its Transportation Regulations and Logistics program. "TSI monitors for proposed changes to regulations impacting transportation and handling of sulfur and sulfur compounds." Their program covers transportation by rail and sea transportation on regional and international levels. The Sulphur Institute holds an international symposium annually titled The Sulphur Institute's Sulphur World Symposium; the symposia are attended by producers and traders in sulfur, as well as industry service providers, feature speakers discussing a range of topics relating to sulfur.
