Choose a task, then follow a guide
If you are shopping, start with labels; if you are cooking, start with soup ingredients. If you are exploring Baduanjin, first choose a named version and a teaching resource, then use the eight-name companion to follow that source. The guides support learning and preparation rather than tailoring a plan to your symptoms.
Preparation examples explain the decision and its limits. Check the actual product and the source instructions, and do not turn a named historical movement or traditional food description into a claim of disease treatment.
