The famous Tao symbol unites them: Yin and Yang are the two opposites which compliment one and other, the feminine and the masculine essence, peace and action, hot and cold; to prove it, each carries the seed of the other. A prevalently Yin constitution makes for an introverse, fearful and depressed individual; someone with difficulties in concentration or memory problems, who often holds grudges. The telling signs of excessive Yin are very specific: pallor, obesity, tiredness, excessive perspiration, blood loss and marked sensitivity to cold. In a prevalently Yang constitution on the other hand, the signs are hyperactivity, a red face and a tendency to be underweight; Individuals tend to be extrovert, moody and prone to outbursts of anger. In order to balance the Yin energy, the Yang needs nourishing, and vice versa. The best way to eliminate the ‘stagnation’ in Yin and the ‘drying movement’ in Yang, is a correct diet. Those prevalently Yin should eat neutral and warm foods, and often eat bitter foods which tend to dry up humidity. Yangs on the other hand, should follow a diet rich in cold foods, with a sour and slightly sweet taste, which has a relaxing and unwinding effect. r.p. |
