According to the Five Elements Theory, all things can be divided into five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth). Our body’s five yin organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney) correspond to the five elements based on their biological special natures. TCM makes use of these relationships to treat diseases of the organs in tonifying or reducing therapies.
