Tonifies Yang

Yin and yang represent two opposite aspects of every object and its implicit conflict and interdependence. For example, (day, bright, male etc) are yang and (night, dark, female etc) are yin Yin is the receptive, passive, cold force. Yang (sun) is masculine- force, movement, heat. In TCM, it is thought that the imbalance of yin and yang is one of the basic pathogeneses of a disease. For example, preponderance of yang leads to hyperfunction of the organism and heat manifestations, while preponderance of yin hypofunction of the organism or endogenous cold. Tonifies Yang improves circulation and clears away stagnant.
