The concept and theory of Chinese medicine

YIN & YANG

TCM views the body holistically, so
problems in one area affect other areas.

Yin and Yang can be
divided into:

1. interior(yin)/
exterior(yang)

2. deficiency(yin)/
excess(yang)

3. cold(yin)/
hot(yang)
These categories
form the 8 principle
patterns of potential
disharmony.   The
principle is to bring
yin and yang into
balance.
