Yin Yang Theory

Yin yang or ying yang? Often I see it written “ying yang”. It is YIN.

Yin and yang are fundamental theories to Chinese philosophy and Chinese medicine. It is easy to understand from an herbal perspective.

cool, moist, female

Yang is hot, dry and male

 

Yin herbs include American ginseng

Yang herbs include horny goat weed

 

I do not recommend taking yang herbs without an acupuncturist prescription. Even two weeks of yang herbs might be too much.

Yin tonics are taken in China as longevity and youth tonics. Yin tonics can restore things you lose as you get older as well as help you age more gracefully. The Chinese buy most of our American ginseng because they use yin tonics to improve health over 40.

The easiest way to mess yourself up with Chinese herbs is with Kidney yang tonics. Yang tonics can only be used a short period of time and must be used with yin tonics to balance them out. Horny goat weed, which is a yang tonic, is not used alone and never for very long in formulas. In fact, you must be very careful with it, even in herbal formulas, prescribed by acupuncturists.
