medicine:
The Fire element is the Heart, Pericardium, Small Intestine, and 
something known as the Triple Heater..The Heart in Eastern thought 
is believed to be what houses the "Shen" or the "Mind", very

itself. The Water element in the body consists of Kidney and 
Bladder, and the Brain and Central Nervous System are believed to 
stem from and be nurtured by the Kidneys. So Water should be, under 
optimal conditions, alway controlling Fire, keeping it in check, so 
to speak. Just like a microcosm of the way it is in nature. If not 
it is common to have "Shen" disturbances at night, when the "Shen" 

is now wandering around aimlessly, causing insomnia and frequent 
dreams...
