Yin and yang are two interrelated and interdependent concepts developed by traditional Chinese medicine, which stand for the perfect equilibrium.
This equilibrium might be interpreted on spiritual, mental, and physical levels.
Similar to their visual representation, these two symbols are antagonistic elements and this opposition is generally interpreted as feminine (yin) - masculine (yang), black (yang) - white (yin), and passive (yin) - active (yang).
According to Chinese tradition, anything might be expressed through yin and yang; therefore, complementary medicine has explored this belief and has given the human body a very different interpretation.
Actually, any organ might be translated either into yin or yang values.
As you can simply notice, these two symbols stand for perfection, for harmony and each time this equilibrium is broken some symptoms might appear.
In conclusion, any physical or mental disorder is actually provoked by imbalance between yin and yang.
It is worth considering that the balance between yin and yang has not static values, on the contrary, it is characterized by movability and dynamism.
Moreover, each time we feel extremely active, it means that a certain value, more precisely yang dominates us, whereas we feel depressed the opposite controls our emotions and actions.
All in all, the interpretation of yin and yang in complementary medicine is extremely important due to the fact that any disease might be cured in a different manner.
All we have to do is to pay close attention to the signals that our body sends us and then to restore the balance.
