Yin & Yang
Traditional Chinese medicine treatments aim to restore the balance between yin and yang energies, promoting overall health and vitality by harmonizing these fundamental forces.
What is Yin?
Yin represents the feminine, receptive, nurturing, calm, and cooling aspects of energy within the body and the natural world. Yin governs the structures and substances within the body, including fluids, blood, and tissues, and is closely linked to organs such as the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. An imbalance in Yin can manifest as symptoms like fatigue, coldness, weakness, and fluid retention. When Yin is deficient, it can lead to various health issues, such as insomnia, dryness, and hormonal imbalances.
What is Yang?
Yang represents the active, masculine, bright, warm, and outward aspects of nature and the human body. It embodies qualities such as movement, heat, and transformation. Yang energy is associated with functions such as digestion, circulation, metabolism, and the body's ability to generate warmth and fend off external pathogens. Yang is linked to organs like the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, bladder, and small intestine, which are involved in processing and distributing nutrients and energy throughout the body. An imbalance in Yang can manifest as symptoms like fever, excessive sweating, hyperactivity, and inflammation.
