The tàijítú symbol represents the two complementary energies that animate life: yin and yang. These two polarities are in perpetual search of balance, and therefore in movement. For there is no life without movement.

Man stands between Heaven (yang) and Earth (yin). He has a physical body (yin), but also a spirit (yang). The balance between these two polarities is called the Tao, which represents the natural order of the Universe, and therefore governs Man’s life.

To be in good health, you need to seek balance in all areas of your life. This is achieved by following the flows and rhythms of nature. This quest for harmony is the basis of Chinese medicine.
