Bird class (鳥類)

Also known as "Fire Type", they have a similar appearance and characteristics to birds that fly in the sky.

② Round and bright eyes with a tendency for a red face (especially the cheekbones and lips).

③ Narrow and pointed jawline.

④ Prone to acne

⑤ Women have a cute and upturned nose with a pointed tip. If there is dizziness, use Qing Yun hua Tan Tang (淸暈化痰湯).

● Body:

Tends to have a protruding chest like a bird's chest. Therefore, Fire Type individuals tend to be restless and prone to illness due to their impatience.

● Characteristics:

① Fire Type individuals are generally hot-tempered and talkative.

② They pursue perfection and are punctual with appointments. They want to be accurate while also being impatient, which leads to them feeling uncomfortable and their heart racing frequently.

③ They have good manners.

④ They can't sit still and need to be doing something to relieve their emotions.

⑤ They laugh easily.

⑥ They like to be in high places. People with Fire Type personalities like to live in high places, so they become ill if they live in basements. If you catch a sparrow and keep it in your house, it will die.

⑦ They cannot stand dirty things and are honest. They explode when suppressed. Despite their impatience, they have a strong sense of responsibility.

● Organs and diseases:

According to the Five Elements theory, Fire Type is closely related to the heart in the human body. Fire disease is commonly referred to as heart fire disease, and the expression "the heart is boiling with fire" also stems from the close relationship between the heart and fire.

The reason why Fire Type individuals laugh easily is because their hearts are replete, so they are prone to heart disease, such as palpitations. They are always anxious and restless, so they suffer from nervous disorders, have little sleep, and have no interest in food. They also tend to be constipated and have pain in their waist and legs. Sometimes they feel pain between their chest and waist or their back and shoulders, and their waist and back ache. However, Fire Type individuals tend not to recover easily once their shoulders start to hurt. This is because the fundamental disease of Fire Type lies deep in the heart.

l   Life and Medicine

As the body's fire element is closely related to the heart, it is important to focus on calming the mind and nourishing the heart in everyday life. Foods that help with heart function include lotus seeds(蓮子), millet, eggs, apricots, persimmons, and red beans. Lotus seeds can nourish the heart, calm the mind, and help circulate qi smoothly. Eggs have a calming effect on the mind, especially the egg white, which can reduce heat under the heart. It is recommended to eat one raw egg per day. The basic principle of the fire element is to nourish yin and reduce fire, and the basic prescription for this is Zi Yin Qiang Huo Tang (Yin-Enriching Fire-Downbearing Decoction, 滋陰降火湯).
