The Yin and Yang symbol of balance is central to traditional Chinese thought. Yin and Yang are the two opposing, yet complementary sides of nature. Literally, they mean "the two banks of a river" (or the two sides of a mountain) -- one in the shade, the other in the sun.

The Chinese believe that when the opposites of Yin and Yang (normally pronounced "yawn") are in balance, the body is healthy; when they are not in balance, illness results. The success of a Chinese herbal formula lies in its ability to balance the Yin and Yang.

Yin illnesses are those which are characterized by weakness, slowness, coldness, and underactivity. These are chronic illness or diseases of deficiency.

Yang illnesses are those which are characterized by strong, forceful movements, heat, and overactivity (diseases of excess).

Chinese herbal formulas redress yin/yang imbalances in the body by supplementing deficient elements. Yang formulas reduce or relieve the Chi (or life energy -- usually pronounced "key" -- also spelled "Qi" but pronounced the same) of the overactive body parts (i.e., pacify the spirit, clear the congestion, ventilate the lungs, and clear the heat). Yin formulas enhance or support the Chi energy of the underactive body parts (i.e., generate the pulse, strengthen the bones, strengthen the weak, warm the center, and nurture the heart).
