The ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine goes back a couple of millennia and its treatment techniques and knowledge have changed over time; however the basic principles of the art remain unchanged. To balance out the Yin and Yan in a human body, this is the founding principle of Chinese Medicine to achieve equilibrium between the difference forces that are at work inside the human body. The five forces or phases of Wu Xing should be taken into consideration in order to balance the Yin and Yan.

In the philosophy of the five Wu Xing phases it is said that certain elements can upset or change the balance. These are categorized in to two sections generating or constructive interaction and overcoming or destructive interaction. For example a generating interaction would be wood creates fire, fire creates earth, earth creates metal, metal carries water, water nourishes wood. Similarly a number of other generating and overcoming relationships between the five phases can be explained similarly.

In traditional Chinese medicine Wu Xing elements are used to describe the fluctuations in the human body and the interaction between different organs. Each of the five Wu Xing phases are said to be responsible for the functioning of different body parts for example, the tongue is controlled by fire while the skin is controlled by metal. The five phases are also used to describe certain mental and emotional ailments such as anxiety and sadness. Thus it is possible to cure an illness by diagnosing which part of the body carries the ailment and treating it so that the five phases are balanced out.
