When you are thirsty(Yang), you drink water(Yin). When you're cold(Yin), you drink hot soup(Yang). You may crave a refreshing watermelon(Yin) in the hot summer(Yang) to expel heat. When eating some sort of meat(Yang) in your meal, it's usually served with vegetables or salad (Yin). These are perfect examples of balanced Yin and Yang, also the symbol of well balanced health.
They aren't simply just the food we eat, but rather they should be considered to be our natural source of life.

In the theory of oriental medicine, to maintain our daily life, one must fill certain deficiencies and rid of unneeded excessiveness in our bodies.
This basic concept is an example of oriental medicine which has been proven for 2000 years. (a most common and well known product such as aspirin has proven its effectiveness for approximately 100 years only) 

Chinese herbs bas icily consist of

For example, the pancreas of diabetic patients who depend on an outside supply of insulin will become weaker because the pancreas doesn't need to work hard to secret the insulin as much as possible, and their dependency of outside insulin will increase.
Drugs that reduce cholesterol generally suppress natural liver activity which leads to muscle weakness poor vision and decreases liver functioning. Problems like these can create new side effects.

Oppositely, oriental medicine improves symptoms while supporting concerned individual organs/systems, which strengthen our immunity and improves our overall health.
For example, in the case of having inflammations, antibiotics are usually prescribed to kill the unwanted germs. But this process almost always harms our normal cells that are needed and this creates numerous side effects such as fatigue, chronic diarrhea.
However, in oriental medicine, our immune system is boosted to fight off the unwanted germs and our bodies are not spoiled or weakened.

Because of body tolerance, most of these symptom-controlling products temporarily ease symptoms, and dosages usually increase as time goes on.
So, although we get temporary relief, it doesn't reach our goal of true health.

To control their glucose level, most diabetics start to use prescriptions, and almost always the dosages of prescriptions get higher and higher and in many cases, years later, eventually they get complications one by one such as numbness of limbs, blurry vision, kidney and heart problems, etc. without gaining true improvement.
For high cholesterol and hypertension pill users, once they stop using prescriptions, most of the tim e symptoms come back, and sometimes it could be unsafe if stopped suddenly.
The histamine blockers that just block the allergy symptoms temporarily which have side effects like dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness etc. come across similar situations

Thus, instead of suppressing or blocking existing symptoms, or spoiling our body system with localized view point, we should support our bodies as a whole system(a small universe) with what our bodies need by Tonifying Deficiencies of Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood and Expelling Excessiveness of Heat, Cold,Dampness, Wind(i.e. stroke) to reach well Harmonized Balance which is called true and real 'HEALTH'.
