The theory of Wuyuan (i.e. soil, water, fire, air and space) originally came from ancient Indian medicine. Mongolian medicine employs Wuyuan theory as theoretical instruction to explain the elements constituting human body, the principles of physiology, pathology, diagnosis and therapy, and treatment by drugs, and alterations to diet and living habits. In this case, Wuyuan theory is the guideline of the theoretical system of Mongolian medicine.
According to different natures, actions and states of thing, Wuyuan theory distributes it among the five elements of soil, water, fire, air and space respectively. The soil element is hard, strong and heavy in nature. It is shown mainly by smell and has the property of flavor, color and the senses. Soil is the basis of anything and functional to weight and the stability of matter. The water element is naturally moist in nature and is shown mainly by flavor with color and sensory properties. It is functional in nourishing and irrigating. The fire element is, of course, hot in nature with color and sensory properties; it is functional in maturing, dissolving and burning. The air element is light and active in nature with sensory properties and is functional in activities and development of matter. The space element is empty and void in nature. It has only acoustic properties and provides space for matter in existence, growth and movement. Space element functions in intervals.
Mongolian medicine believes that the human body is an organic integrity with unity of oppositeness. All parts have close connections. Such mutual connections and structure are closely related to Wuyuan -- the five elements.
