 The Fire constitution is associated
with warmth and light. Fire, like our minds, illuminates and sheds light
on a darkened world. It's lively, full of imagination and vitality. When
kept under control, fire is very useful. However, it will dominate and
consume if not kept in check.
The circulatory system and the upper
parts of the body are associated with the fire element, because heat
rises. The heart is seen by the Chinese as the home of insight and
understanding. Courage is also associated with the heart.
Excess fire leaves one "out of touch
with reality" and living in a dream world. It can also result in excessive
imagination and the over pursuit of perpetual happiness. Not enough Fire
may leave one unable to accomplish goals, antisocial, and with a fear of
trying something new.
Conditions traditionally known to arise
from Fire imbalances include insomnia, paranoia and anxiety, restlessness,
heart palpitations, flushed face, and weakened sexual response.
