The five-element theory, also called the five-phase or five-movement theory, holds that everything in the universe, including our health, is governed by five natural elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The theory stresses the Chinese belief that human beings, both physically and mentally, are interwined with nature, which is fundamental to the understanding of TCM.

Basic Principles of TCM
TCM is based on the philosophical concept that the human body is a small universe with a set of complete and sophisticated colsely-related sub-systems. Those systems usually work balancely and harmoniously to maintain the normal function of the human body. There are also systems (much like immune system in modern concept) in human body to heal illness automatically. In case of any imbalance between those sub systems in human body, the healing system may lose power and the illness occurs.
