Body Pattern · Hot / Dry / Tense
You run hot, burn dry, and hold everything tight.
You are wired for intensity. Your metabolism runs high, your mind moves quickly, and your body generates heat readily. But you also carry significant tension: muscular, nervous, and emotional. Your system is like a bowstring drawn too tight and set on fire: powerful, precise, but at constant risk of snapping. You tend to be driven, goal-oriented, and capable of extraordinary effort, but you rarely know when to stop.
Your body needs cooling, moistening, and relaxing support, not more stimulation. The herbs that serve you best are those that soften the edges, replenish lost fluids, and calm the fire without extinguishing your vitality.
