The heart governor is also known as the “heart constrictor” or the “pericardium”.
There are four meridians of the element Fire, which are are two sets of paired organs. In actuality, the Heart Governor and Triple Heater are not organs, but functions. The Heart Governor is responsible for the overall condition of metabolism of the body, and the Triple Heater is responsible for maintaining the proper internal body temperature with respect to the external ambient temperature.
People with strong Fire energy may be quite charismatic. They excel at commanding others to action. They may love talking and socializing.
When the Fire Qi is weak, a person may be lackluster or bland. They may suffer from anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. They may stutter, talk too much and too rapidly, or laugh nervously. They may be too excitable, easily stimulated to excesses, or they may be emotionally cold and unfeeling.
Common illnesses include palpitations, hypertension, heart problems, and sores on the mouth and tongue. People strongly influenced by the Fire element may be vulnerable in very hot weather, and may be calmed and centered by walking. The bitter flavor favors the Fire Qi. Coffee is a bitter flavor, but its effects may aggravate the Heart Qi. The healthy bitter flavors include dark, green leafy vegetables.
