YIN
Etymologically it means “side of the mountain that provides shade”. The Yin energy is expansive, slow and centrifugal. It is the energy that is connected to coldness, water, the moon, femininity, relaxation, the inner balance, dispersion, intuition and creativity. A Yin body tends toward being thin and does not retain fat cells (adipocytes), but rather it eliminates them.
People who tend to have Yin characteristics display spiritual tendencies; they are creative, artistic, imaginative, understanding and hyper-sensitive.
Well-being is defined as a balance between Yin and Yang. An imbalance is the result of a deficit or excess of Yin energy or Yang energy. Ideally, we want to ensure that our body adapts to the changing conditions, maintaining the balance between these two opposite and complementary energies.
Therefore, Alqvimia products with a more Yang polarity or energy facet are recommended for excess Yin energy imbalances.
Pay attention to the following symbols which you will find on our packaging:
Indicates a product with a Yin charge, meaning it is appropriate for counteracting Yang imbalances.
