In Five Element Acupuncture, Fire is the element of Summer. The Fire element is led by the Heart-the emperor of all organs. It governs circulation, and houses the Shen, or Spirit. The Shen rules over emotions, and is the center of our psychological and spiritual well-being. Fire influences our outward expression, enthusiasm, and social connections. It also can be a source of anxiety, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping when we are out of balance.
Fire influences us to love without abandon. We can lead with our heart, and allow love to pour into everything we do, and all that we touch. During this season, we forge deeper connections and foster meaningful partnerships. The warmth and fullness we feel in the Summer spills into our relationships with an abundance of love and laughter.
Acupuncture for the Fire Element helps to support our emotional well-being by helping our emotions to feel balanced and grounded. It also helps to regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure, clear excess heat, may reduce inflammations, as well as soothe anxiety, promote restful sleep.
