Five Elements (Wu Xing)
Five Elements are the five basic substances which all things in the world are made from and consist of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Everything in the world has the nature of these five elements, including nature and humans, and by studying their interrelationships, how they move, interact and affect each other, one can understand disease and imbalances.
