Chinese Medicine and Yin Yang

"The body is visible, but Qi is invisible. " SAYING OF CHINESE MEDICINE

"To know the body, study nature"

Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory of Yin Yang

"In confidence", Dr. Shen whispered,
"There are times even I cannot tell Yin from Yang."

Yin / Yang describe change.

Yin and Yang refer to the sides of a mountain.
In the morning, one side is in shade, the other in sunlight.

Later in the day, the sides have reversed.
Dark becomes light and light becomes dark.

Nature is like this, forever changing, undulating. In time,
Yang turns to Yin. Yin predictably becomes Yang.

Change is certain, a basic law of nature you can count on, like gravity.

Yang and Yin support one another as they oppose each other.

There is always yin within yang and yang within yin. You simply can' t have one without the other.

We see the body and its disharmonies in changing shades of Yin and Yang.

This helps to understand where events come from and where they are going to.

This helps to understand the disease and the patient
