The Wood CF type of person is self motivated and outgoing. They are curious, adventurous and tend to be on the aggressive (Yang) side. Often impatient, they wonder why a thing wasn't already completed. They are inventors, innovators that look for connection and interaction. At extreme, they like confrontation and fighting.

These are the talents provided by Liver & Gallbladder organ pair. When these organs become weak, we see irritability and anger, short temper and arguments that can turn violent. The common health issues with Wood CF are Liver and Gallbladder driven: gallstones, fatty liver, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or other circulatory system problems, (physical but also emotional, intellectual, spiritual) vision problems, lack of tact and analysis and tendency to solve problems by putting more (instead of different) effort.

Many of Wood CF health issues are issues of excess. Being driven to compete and achieve, Wood type of person trends to push themselves while encouraged by modern life's "you can have everything" moto.

Remember that our natural state of being is non-action, until there is something that needs to be addressed. So engage with Nature, spend time outdoors in observation and contemplation, move daily but match your activity levels to what your body was meant to be used for MINUS the intensity your condition may not be able to support.

Eat more sour foods as they provide positive stimulation to Wood organs.
