This concept views that the body should be kept in balance in terms of health. For example, in China, they have created a medical system 3,500 years ago that composed of a balance between forces called yin and yang. Emily Ahern explained yin and yang in her ethnographic description stating that the body needs both hot and cold substances to create balance. So when the body is not in balance, it means that the body lacks a substance which can be restored by eating or drinking. For instance, when Ahern was about to faint because of the heat, she was told to drink a cold bamboo shoot soup to create balance in her body. Another example of yin and yang is in the winter, people tend to take more hot substances, while in the summer, people take colder substances. The human body is also viewed to have yin and yang. The yang symbolizes the living and the yin symbolizes the underworld in the shape of a tree and a house. The roof of the house represents person 's head, the walls represents the skin, and the roots of the tree represent a woman 's reproductive organs and legs. When a person is facing health problems, a shaman sends a traveler to the underworld to examine what is wrong with the person 's yin house. If the traveler sees an issue, then they will fix the yin house which will restore the yang part of the body. The yin world is also where the ghost lives and they can cause illness. If people face this issue, they must ask for help from the gods who lives in the yang
