Eight principles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eight Principles are one of the basic ways Chinese medicine has to diagnose. It uses the following eight divisions of symptoms:
- Yin or Yang (yin-yang 陰陽)
- Superficial or internal (li-biao 表裡)
- Cold or hot (han-re 寒熱)
- Deficient or Replete (xu-shi 虛實)
