The Oriental View of Health Most of us think of our health only when we are sick. Then we want to fight off the sickness so we can get on with our life as before.
Health includes one s physical, emotional, and spiritual functions.
It includes our relationship with our self, with our families, with society at large, and with our environment. The Chinese use yin-yang theory to explain the world and its phenomena. Yin represents that which is dark, cold, at rest, passive, interior, inward, decreasing, hidden. Yang represents that which is light, hot, active, exterior, outward, increasing and visible. A phenomenon is described as yin or as yang only in relationship to some other phenomenon.
