What are Yin and Yang Qi Energy?

Qi is a Chinese term that refers to the powerful healing life force or energy believed by ancient Chinese scholars to exist within everything in the Universe. It moves like a stream of energy through your body, flowing through important channels known as 'meridians' that connect your vital organs. The harmonious tuning and balancing of qi energy flow is at the core of all Chinese medicine practices.

An imbalance in your qi energy can occur when it moves to either Yin or Yang extremes. Yin and yang are complementary but opposite 'qualities' or 'characteristics' of a single energy source, which together form Wu Wei - the balanced qi energy state for optimal health.

Why Balance Yin and Yang Energy?

The body-mind connection is central in Chinese medicine theory; mind and body cannot be treated separately as they're completely interconnected. A harmonious balance between Yin and Yang qi promotes good physical and emotional well-being when your qi flows smoothly. Conversely, unbalanced or imbalanced qi energy leads to ill-health.

Balancing Yin Qi Energy

When experiencing a deficiency of Yin energy characterized by dryness, weakness, and heat, adjustments may include:

• Consuming warm foods and drinks like soups

• Selecting cooling teas to balance internal heat

Yin deficiency symptoms might manifest as:

• Dry skin or mouth

• Fatigue after physical activity

• Excessive thirst

Balancing Yang Qi Energy

For an imbalance of Yang energy manifested by coldness, fatigue, and weakness, consider:

• Eating cooked grns such as oats for warmth

• Choosing root vegetables like parsnip, turnips, kale, onion and leeks

• Drinking warming teas to stimulate body heat

Yang deficiency symptoms could include:

• A feeling of coldness in extremities hands, feet

• Frequent colds or flu-like illnesses

• Poor digestion

Lifestyle Changes for Both Balances

While proper nutrition alone may not fully restore balance if your qi energy is imbalanced, a holistic approach incorporating various adjustments can be beneficial.
