Everything in Tao exists in a synchronistic relationship. Tao transmits the breath of life that powers the universe. It is considered that the Tao surrounds the universe and transmits different patterns of energy into the universe. The macrocosm communicates with the microcosm, and different patterns might affect and reorder seemingly unrelated events in the outer world.

Imagine that destiny has a variety of patterns (chin. 理 li) which can create the shapes and behaviours, alike genetic repository, or universe's DNA. When expressed in living matter, the universe’s DNA manifests as an organic DNA. Therefore implementation of the Book of Changes about a thing can be like searching individual DNA in order to discover the segment of genetics currently running.

Taoism believes that the visible universe (Chin. 太極 or taiji) is a manifestation of the cosmic mother (Chin. 無極 wuji) and is destined to return to nothingness (Chin. 無 wu).

The universe’s DNA do not absolutely determine the future, because the patterns from the cosmic mother can change the current order and introduce overwhelming forces that usurp destinies.

Each thing in the universe is in a state of inaction (Chin. 无为 wu wei) – which means harmony with the patterns, or do nothing and let things take their own course.

As water is neutral in property, the actual temperature of the water is the deciding factor when classifying its energetic property.

For example, warm water can warm internal organs and maintain or increase the Yang in your body, e.g., warm your stomach. In this way it increases functionality of internal organs and reduce some digestive diseases. Hot water can help you stay hydrated, and it may also help ease congestion, improve digestion, relieve stress, and help you feel warmer.

Cold water in contrary may decrease the temperature of internal organs and slow blood circulation. Cold food may also solidify fats in your stomach, which can cause digestive problems, whereas hot liquids may aid in digestion. Chinese people with thousands years of experience use foods and drinks for medicinal properties. Thus, they drink warm water to help with the internal balance of their body systems.

In general water keeps body healthy and hydrated. However, warm water can help improve digestion, relieve congestion, and even promote relaxation, compared with drinking cold water.Drinking warm water may help keep your bowel movements regular.

Fungi have played an important role in Chinese culture for perhaps 7,000 years. Over the millennia, common mushrooms such as the wood ear and jelly fungus have been important food items. Various simple fungi were also utilized to make fermented food products such as  wine, vinegar, soy sauce, and pickled vegetables. Fungi were utilized for their healing properties in China and popularized over centuries in South-East Asia as well.  

The use of fungi such as hoelen, caterpillar fungus, and ergot in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was also recorded in the TCM literature. The oldest official Chinese list of medicinal substances comes from the Classic of the Materia Medica (Shennong Bencaojing 神農本草經) written between about 206 BC and 220 AD,  and the Mingyi bielu (Chin.名醫別錄). It contains 365 medicinal substances, and the list includes several mushroom species used for medicinal purposes.

Earlier mention of the use of fungi in medicine outside of the main classics occurred as early as 26 B.C. in the “Book of Songs,”(Chin. Shijing 诗经) a compilation of folk-songs and poems. Shitake was included in a work on herbal medicine first in 1209 in the Records of Longquan County.

Probably the most famous of all works on Chinese materia medica is the monumental Compendium of Materia Medica (Bencao gangmu本草綱目), which was compiled by Li Shizhen (Chin. 李时珍) and published in 1578 in Nanjing three years after he died. This enormous endeavour took Li Shizhen 27 years and includes 1,892 species of animal, herbal, and mineral drugs, including 1,100 illustrations and 11,000 prescriptions...

The entire physical universe consists of pure energy and vibrations, which are mostly terra incognita for humans, therefore we can detect and use only a small fraction of it.

Everything vibrates at a certain frequency widely known as electromagnetic energies – with a certain effects on the planet Earth and all living beings.

An electromagnetic field is an area of space filled with magnetic and electric energy. Electromagnetic fields are everywhere. High-frequency electromagnetic radiation, like x-rays and gamma rays, is “ionizing” and might be harmful to people, while visible light which is low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, or “non-ionizing,” is considered safe to humans, or even a cure to some human diseases.

Electromagnetic fields are produced by any device that uses electricity, but are mostly produced naturally. A large, low-frequency electromagnetic field is produced by the Earth’s core, as a part of our atmosphere called the magnetosphere...
