Mutual Generation of Five Phases(Wu Xing)
The ancients believed that everything in the universe can be interpreted by the five-elements (Wu Xing) theory.
Each of the five elements - wood, fire, earth, gold, and water - have their own characteristics and represent the body organs of liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney respectively. "Mutual Generation" describes the synergistic creation of vitality, while "Mutual Overcoming” refers to opposing checks and balances.With good and comprehensive nutrition, the effect of mutual generation will be considerably enhanced. If the body is internally healthy, then the outside appearance will naturally become healthier and more youthful as well.
