Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon)

The Huangdi Neijing, or Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, is an ancient Chinese medical text from around 200 BCE that lays the foundation for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It explores the body's energy system (Qi), the balance of Yin and Yang, and the interconnectedness of organs and emotions. The text combines philosophy, medicine, and natural principles to explain how health depends on harmony within the body and with nature. It emphasizes prevention, balance, and understanding symptoms to restore well-being, making it a cornerstone of holistic health practices in Chinese medicine.
