The "Five-Element" theory is a fundamental concept in traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine. It describes five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—that represent different aspects of nature and human life. Each element is associated with specific qualities, emotions, and organs, creating a framework for understanding balance and harmony in the body and environment. In this system, the elements interact through cycles of creation and destruction. For example, Wood fuels Fire, while Water extinguishes it. This interconnectedness helps practitioners diagnose and treat health issues by identifying imbalances among the elements, promoting overall well-being.
