Chinese Health Theraphy

Yin and Yang are called the 2 fundamental principles of universal forces, always opposite and complementary. They are ancient philosophical concepts applied to all material phenomena.

Overall everything is in motion, outside, and a rising, hot, light, functional and hyperactive belongs to Yang, while everything is at rest, at home and on the decline, and it’s cold , dark and dysfunctional material belongs to Yin. Ying and Yang are not absolute but relative. This relativity is reflected in conditions in which Yin and Yang can transform each one into its opposite, the Yin and Yang becomes this in Yin.

According to Chinese philosophy, the human body is a microcosm. The same energy that governs the universe and everything it contains the human influence. Wrapped in the rhythm of the universe, there are two poles of elemental forces that keep the cosmic balance, the Yin and Yang.

It is noteworthy that the Yin-Yang theory is not based on moral judgments, as many people believe, such as positive or negative, good or bad. Rather, it means that the universe is governed by a single principle, the Tao (way or path only true of the universe, expressed as Lao-Tse).This principle is divided into two opposing sides in their efforts to maintain a balance, because neither dominates eternally, everything in the universe is subject to constant change due to the cyclical nature of Yin-Yang. Thus, the impermanence of everything in the universe and its transformation derives from the perpetual changes of Qi. In relation to health and disease, the Chinese described the principle of “presence in absence” that is, this never really healthy since health contains in itself the principle of disease away from it.
