What does it do?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Yin and Yang, Qi, and Blood are the major fundamental elements in our body that underlie
the normal function of organs. Yin and Yang are the opposing principles that depend on each other for existence within any subject,
such as female and male for mankind, dark and light for a complete day, negative and positive for numbers. The kidney is the innate source
of Yin and Yang of the body. Qi is the vital energy that flows within the body to support the physical activities like breath.
The nature of Yin, Yang and Qi has yet to be revealed by modern biomedical studies.
Delicate balances of Yin and Yang and robust levels of Qi energy and Blood are essential to a good state of health.
When any of them goes weak, the body manifests with signs of abnormality. For example, when Yin is insufficient,
one may feel back weakness, heat sensation, night sweat, insomnia, dry mouth; in case of Yang insufficiency, back soreness
may be shown together with cold limbs, impotence, diarrhea; Qi weakness comes with pale face, fatigue, lack of physical strength,
shortness of breath on exercise, and poor appetite; Blood deficiency is shown in pale face, anemia, palpitation, and insomnia etc.
