Phlegm
8 September, 2022
Phlegm is a pathological substance of internal origin, material or immaterial, which obstructs and also hinders energy circulation.
The lungs, spleen and kidneys metabolize fluids. When they fail in their functions, the body does not properly transform and transport liquids so moisture is formed. Moisture stagnant for a long time condenses and transforms into phlegm. Phlegm can also be formed by internal heat that consumes and condenses liquids. It is an internal condition that can be combined with any external pathogen, for example: Wind, cold, dryness, heat or fire.
TYPES OF PHLEGM
Phlegm can be of two types, first material and second immaterial.
Material or visible
It refers mostly to phlegm in the lungs. Sputum, thick and difficult to expectorate mucus, typical of chronic bronchitis or for example of an attack of hot wind to the lungs. Improper transformation of fluids can also form fat cysts, tumors.
Immaterial or invisible
It refers to inflammatory phenomena or increased density or accumulations in any part of the body, for example inflammations in the nodes or nodules under the skin. Swelling and also numbness in the meridians. It can lodge in the heart or also in the pure holes of the head altering the mind. Asthma is also attributed to invisible phlegm.
Comment
Phlegm is a type of moisture, but unlike moisture, it can rise, shape, or lack it. If the moisture in a pot is not removed soon the plant that lives in that pot will have fungi on its leaves and these will turn yellowish and suffer a lot. Phlegm is like that fungus, sometimes we see it and sometimes we don’t. Phlegm clouds our eyes, they do not allow us to think well, it drowns us, it is like a stuck cry because we do not know why we want to cry.
We need to nourish ourselves better, not do more than we can actually do, sometimes want to do more than we can, it can overwhelm us and we don’t know “how to get there”.
Phlegm invites us to movement because it seems that we have something stuck and immobility overwhelms (staying still means facing pain), at some point the movement also hurts and they are called fibromyalgia. To get out of there is to recognize the exhaustion and recognize the pain before it.
