Wisdom for the Fire Element

The Fire element, one of the TCM 5 elements, is associated with the Heart and its partner organ, Small Intestine. The Chinese word for 'heart' is xin. "The Chinese word refers to te organ Western medicine recognizes as the heart as well as what is sometimes referred to as the heartmind, the central organizing principle or processing unit of individual life. For the ancient Chinese, xin was much more than a muscular pump. It was the residence of te spirit, the center of psychological life and function.  In traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Taoist thought, the heart is likened to the ruler of a kingdom. Like an emperor, the heart is the organizing principle of a person's being, the regulating principle of the body and the mind." Lorri e Eve Dechar

When the Heart is out of balance, you may experience on or more of the following symptoms:

Anxiety, agitation, or disturbed sleep

This is because Heart governs blood circulation and houses the Spirit (mind). Excess heat in the Heart can disturb the mind.

Excessive sweating

In TCM, perspiration is the “fluid” of the Heart. Sweat comes from body fluid and the Heart controls body fluids to some extent. If you experience constant excessive sweating without much exertion, it may be a sign of Heart Qi deficiency.

Flushed face

Blood vessels are considered the tissues of the Heart. The skin has many blood vessels, therefore rashes and flushed red face may indicate excessive heat.

Acupressure Tips

For Fire element, PC 6 Nei Guan and HT 7 Shen Men are commonly used acupoints. “PC” stands for pericardium, which refers to the sac that surrounds the heart and it is closely related to the Heart functions.

When pressing the points, remember to:

  • Apply firm and deep pressure
  • Take long and deep breaths while pressing
  • Set the intention and focus your energy on the point that you are pressing
  • Press firmly for 15 seconds followed by 5 seconds release, and continue for about 5 minutes for each point
  • Press on a regular basis as acupuncture works cumulatively

Laynah was quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the health issue I asked about. She told me of a remedy, I made it using household herbs, and I feel significantly better today. Wow!
