What Is The Yin Yang House?

At our core we are a Chinese Medicine informational website. We are also working towards building and supporting the larger Chinese Medicine community. In addition to freely sharing a broad array of foundational and modern Chinese Medicine theories, research and applications, we aim to connect Chinese Medicine practitioners with each other along with their respective schools and state associations.

What Can I Do Here?

Use our main menu or search tool and follow the links to explore Chinese Medicine from whatever angle you are coming from (generally interested, a student, or a practitioner). Much of the content is categorized by issues/symptoms or by Chinese Medicine diagnostic patterns.
