The Five Element theory has been used for more than 2,000 years as a method of diagnosis and treatment. The theory asserts substances can be divided into one of five basic elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Based on observations of the natural world and its cycles, ancient Chinese people recognized continuous patterns of transformation and change in the universe. Today, we refer to this medical system as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
