Yin and Yang - To Heal
“Yin and Yang are the way of Heaven and Earth, the great principle and outline of everything, the parents of change, the root of source of life and death, the palace of Gods. Treatment of disease should be based upon the roots. (of Yin and Yang)”
-from the Huang Di Nei Jing -
Root-Healing Wellness Centre is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) based wellness centre with a mission to prevent, heal and to maintain the health of all their clients for the four seasons.
Four Seasons - To Maintain
The essence of traditional Chinese healing is to see the body as a harmonious whole. Health is achieved by maintaining the body in a delicate balance of Yin and Yang, which are mutually dependent opposites. Yin is the dark side of the mountain, cool, passive and still. Yang is the bright side of the mountain, warm, active and open. The body's harmony is also based on the interplay of five elemental forces represented by earth, metal, water, wood and fire. Each of these elements corresponds to an internal organ as well as emotions, tastes, colours and sounds. When a correct balance of forces exists, Qi, the essential life force, flows smoothly through Meridians connecting the organ systems.
Metal is associated with Lung (yin) and Large Intestine (yang). Colour is white. Emotion is grief. Senses is nose. Tissue is hair/skin. Aspect is Autumn. Flavour: pungent. Direction: west. Change: reap.
