"The highest class of medicines is that which nourishes ming, (one's life and destiny). This realm corresponds to heaven. If one wishes to prolong life without aging (and thus fulfill one's true potential), one should use these.

The middle class of medicines is that which nourishes xing, (one's intrinsic nature). This realm corresponds to humanity. If one wishes to prevent illness and strengthen that wich has been depleted, one should use these.

The lowest class of medicines is that which treats illness and disease, (it is said in Chinese Medicine that "treating a disease after it is manifest is like waiting until you are thirsty to begin digging a well"). This realm corresponds to earth. When one wishes to cure that which has already become an illness, one should use these."
