eastern medicine is built on the acknowledgement of unity and harmony of the
interrelations of man with nature. All in nature obeys the law of space, and

earth. Yin and Yang are located in constant interaction and opposition, because

eternally opposing systems, which never will be mixed, they will not overflow
into each other, but which cannot exist separately. In each of them is a point
of another color - symbol of origin Yang inside Yin and vice versa.

earth. Ideal - this is complete the harmonious equilibrium of two initial. The
values of Yin and Yang are supplemented with the concept of vitality, energy. So
that nature and man would exist, they must be filled with vitality. According to
