Individuals with a strong predominance of Wood and Fire elements in their BaZi (Eight Characters) often experience imbalances in their Five Elements energy, leading to hyperactivity or deficiency in specific organs and bodily functions, which may trigger related health issues. Below are potential susceptibility to diseases and corresponding adjustment approaches:

1. Excessive Wood (Liver and Gallbladder System)

Prone to: Liver and gallbladder issues: hepatitis, cholecystitis, gallstones, fatty liver; bitterness in the mouth, dry eyes. Nervous system: headaches, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, or irritability (Liver Yang rising). Tendons and joints: tendonitis, arthritis (Liver governs tendons). Eye problems: dry eyes, bloodshot eyes, blurred vision (Liver opens into the eyes).
Triggers: Staying up late, alcohol consumption, emotional suppression, or anger exacerbates Wood excess.

2. Excessive Fire (Cardiovascular System)

Prone to: Cardiovascular issues: hypertension, palpitations, arrhythmia, arteriosclerosis (Fire overacts on Metal, worsening when Lung Qi is weak). Inflammatory conditions: mouth ulcers, acne, skin inflammation, constipation (excessive Fire toxicity). Mental health: insomnia, vivid dreams, restlessness, or in severe cases, anxiety or palpitations (Heart Fire hyperactivity). Small intestine issues: poor absorption, dark yellow urine (Heart and small intestine are internally-externally related).
Triggers: Spicy diet, chronic sleep deprivation, overthinking, or high stress.
