The ability to create and sustain relationships is part of Fire's inherent energy. One with a healthy balance of Fire energy exhibits an energy of abundance in a way similar to that of Water. Spirited enthusiasm for life is a healthy manifestation of Fire. Balance is crucial here, as hyperexcitability is just as harmful to the body and spirit as is lack of joy. Because fire is witnessed through the heart meridian, the herbs in this blend are ones that gently stimulate and also relax the heart. In ancient texts, the heart is compared to a supreme monarch responsible for maintaining internal balance and harmony. By controlling and circulating the blood, the heart ensures that all organs receive their fair share of blood, chi, and nutrients. Imbalanced fire often results in irrational thinking, confused thought patterns, disturbing dreams, a tendency to overheat, obsession with sexual relations, free-floating anxiety, hypertension (liver to heart connection is very profound), and/or digestive irregularities such as constipation, excessive gas, and heartburn. The natural qualities of the heart energies include its heating, warming, and attracting capacities. A healthy expression of this often results in a happy, passionate, and compassionate disposition. The plant allies employed in this concocotion - motherwort, hawthorn, linden - are all well-known plants that enhance the spiritual essence of an open heart. This concoction helps to calm the heart when overstimulated, while at the same time enlivening and awakening the inner fire. It also bring coolness to the body when it is overheating. A powerful formula altogether, it reminds us of the steady beat that connects us to all that is.
