As man is made out of the same elements as in the Universe
He is subject to the same laws
The UNIVERSE being the MACROCOSM
This dynamic concept is the keystone of the entirety of traditional Acupuncture Philosophy.
MAN the MICROCOSM
Yin and Yang are the opening concept, which mean they are constantly changing their relationship to each other, one cannot exist, materially or conceptually, without the other.
Yet, nothing is absolutely YIN or absolutely YANG The passionate union of Yin and Yang is the eternal pattern of the Universe.
Health and Disease are also explained in terms of this Universalistic Philosophy.
The movements and changes of five elements with the Yin and Yang are due to the opposition and conflict between them, also the reason for their relationship of interdependence and mutual support.
