In theory of TCM, the entire universe
can be viewd as the interplay and alternation of Yin and
Yang. The nature and progression of disease can also be
understood using this paradigm. If the Yin is weak there
will not be enough nourishement and support for the yang
and vise versa. Yin and Yang not only balance each other
but also mutually generate one another. This philosophy
can be expressed in everyday life. For instance, in digestion,
the Yin substance of food is transformed by the
metabolic activity of Yang. It is then converted
into Qi(Yang) and blood(Yin). Qi moves Blood,
yet Blood is thought to be the source of Qi. Hence, restore
body's harmony ability to maintain health and defend itself
from disease.
