Yin and Yang

introdution


In the eyes of TCM, every person is a miniature universe.
There are two complementary forces like day and night.
and your body is the interaction of five universal elements:
water, fire, wood, metal, and earth.
All of these elements are pulled together by Oi,
that river of life giving energy that flows through all of us.
which can not findon an x-ray.
All the elements are in balance,you have health,
but when bacteria, or an unhealthy lifestyle throws them out of whack,
You have disease.
At which point a TCM physician's response will be to use acupuncture,
medicinal herbs, massage,diet, and a movement meditation
such as tai chi to restore balance and consequently, health.
