Organs Involved
Gall Bladder Triple Heater

Tendencies
Strong, muscular, and agile, the olive skinned Lesser Yang individual takes in the world through large, deep-set, piercing eyes. He or she is rarely sick in childhood and adolescence, barring an occasional migraine or bout with liver trouble. Though athletic, such a person may have difficulty rotating sideways (stiffness of the Belt Channel, fed by the Gallbladder meridian); tend to retire late in the evening, sleep late and rise slowly; hate the wind and drafts; be indifferent to cold; and have strong feelings one way or the oter about heat. The Lesser Yang individual has a good memory that may deteriorate in mid-life.

Untiring, optimistic, and full of plans and future projects, this type of person always is on the move, likes to work, craves challenges, is committed totally to the work at hand, and always feels that time is too short. The person feels capable but often will not know how to approach a task; this may lead to a lack of coherence at times.

Generous, cordial, friendly, and enthusiastic, the Lesser Yang individual occasionally may get into trouble by being too frank and open. He or she may become belligerent or violent when angry, but the anger dissipates quickly. Such a person is incapable of holding a grudge and cannot bear family quarrels or legal battles.

In love matters, this person can be open to several lovers, without holding back on any.

Anxiety, this person's greatest weakness, can be touched off by minor events. The Lesser Yang individual does not like to be sick and does not like to be taken care of. Overall, this person's strength is in activity: in the ability to make decisions and act on them.
