The five elements framework

The five elements framework or “philosophy of the five phases of transformation” is a set of Daoist teachings explaining natural phenomena. It describes the laws governing transformation processes in the living world: becoming, being, passing away. The five elements – wood, fire, metal, water, and earth – are derived directly from the natural world. Their characteristics form the basis for the relationships among the earth, humans, and the heavens and within these spheres.

The long tradition of the five elements framework influences traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and holistic approaches in innovative Western medicine.
