"Medicinals should coordinate in terms of yin and yang, like mother and child or brothers. They may be roots, stalks, flowers, or fruits, and they may be herbs, stones, bones or flesh.
Some can go alone. Some need each other. Some mutually reinforce each other. Some fear each other. . . When combining, it is proper to use those that need each other and are mutually empowering."
Preface to the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), 300 B.C. - 220 A.D.
