Intro to the 8 Principles
I recently led an online class for Wu Healing Group on the Eight Principles, which are foundational to Chinese medicine. These principles form the framework for diagnosing patterns of disharmony:
Yin / Yang
Interior / Exterior
Deficient / Excess
Cold / Hot
Chinese medicine looks at people as microcosms of the universe, with ecosystems that become imbalanced through a variety of factors. It aims to restore harmony to our inner environments.
