Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon)

The Huangdi Neijing, or The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, is an ancient Chinese medical text dating back over 2,000 years. It systematically outlines theories of health, disease prevention, and healing based on balancing the body's vital energy (qi), yin and yang, and the functioning of essential organs. The text emphasizes holistic approaches, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle practices, to maintain harmony within the body. It remains a foundational work in Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering insights into understanding health as a dynamic interplay between the body, mind, and environment.
