The "Five Elements" theory is one of the core principles of ancient Eastern philosophy, which holds that all things in the universe are composed of five fundamental elements or energy states—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—interacting through cycles of generation and control. An individual's health, emotions, and even fortune are intimately connected to the balance of these five elements.
