Jue Yin

	Jue Yin Jue Yin, 厥陰 (Jué Yīn) translated as "Reverting Yin" or "Absolute Yin," is a critical concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), representing the deepest stage of disease progression within the Six Channels theory. As outlined in the ancient text '' Shang Han Lun'' (Treatise on Cold Damage), Jue Yin signifies a severe imbalance of yin and yang, where vital energies are nearly depleted. This stage primarily affects the liver and pericardium meridians and is associated with advanced febrile diseases or profound exhaustion. Historical context The Six Channels theory, introduced by Zhang Zhongjing in the ''Shang Han Lun'' during the Eastern Han Dynasty (circa 25–220 CE), categorizes disease progression through six stages: Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin. Jueyin, the final yin stage, indicates that pathogenic factors, often cold, have penetrated deeply, disrupting core regulatory systems. The concept is also referenced in the '' Huangdi Nei Jing'' ...

picture info	Yin And Yang Originating in Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (, ), also yinyang or yin-yang, is the concept of opposite cosmic principles or forces that interact, interconnect, and perpetuate each other. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary and at the same time opposing forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts and the parts are as important for the cohesion of the whole. In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of primordial qi or material energy, organized into the cycles of yin and yang, force and motion leading to form and matter. "Yin" is retractive, passive and contractive in nature, while "yang" is repelling, active and expansive in principle; this dichotomy in some form, is seen in all things in nature—patterns of change and difference. For example, biological, psychological and seasonal cycles, the historical evolution of landscapes over days, weeks, years to eons. The origin ...

picture info	Pericardium The pericardium (: pericardia), also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong inelastic connective tissue (fibrous pericardium), and an inner layer made of serous membrane (serous pericardium). It encloses the pericardial cavity, which contains pericardial fluid, and defines the middle mediastinum. It separates the heart from interference of other structures, protects it against infection and blunt trauma, and lubricates the heart's movements. The English name originates from the Ancient Greek prefix ''peri-'' (περί) 'around' and the suffix ''-cardion'' (κάρδιον) 'heart'. Anatomy The pericardium is a tough fibroelastic sac which covers the heart from all sides except at the cardiac root (where the great vessels join the heart) and the bottom (where only the serous pericardium exists to cover the upper surface of the central tendon of diaphragm). ...
