Another beautiful video after 13 ghost points where you have talked about phlegm, visible and invisible, I have watched that 1-hour long video. Thank you Calar, May GOD bless you. You are a beautiful soul. Always be blessed.
Thanks ma'am. So, we have to sedate SP9 and ST40? Right. Also what about ST36 ? Do we tone or sedate ST36 for internal dampness. Does dampness increase yang and create Qi stagnation? You're videos are so simple and straightforward to understand.
Some of my patients had that condition and I didn't forget that points for several years in my practice and I also recommended a right diet for them too. For me it's effective in my experience for several years. Great to know that you also included. 👍
@@Acuproacademy Hello, Clara. I have a question. You were talking about SP9 and ST40 points, but did not say how to needle them. Some write that it is necessary to sedate them. I myself have noticed that when those points are needled without sedation, situation becomes worse: there is more dampness and phlegm. Can you elaborate on that?
@@Acuproacademy Thank you for your answer, but it is not clear to me yet. Excess in what aspect? And deficient in what aspect? Excess and deficient in dampness and phlegm?
@@catstac2542 do you know TCM diagnosis? Like Spleen Qi deficiency or LV Yang rising? That’s what I’m referring to. damp can come from a deficiency 🙏 or it can come from excess🥰
Awesome video! I am obsessed w understanding dampness and phlegm. Both create such complex patterns in people AND pets. Stoked I just found your channel, looking forward to checking out your books! 🤗

Absolutely! Diet can be a cause, weak constitution, emotional trauma, damp environment...And yes the 5 Elements can help us identify which element (organ) was affected first 😍
Hello. I'm studying TCM & acupuncture in Belgium. Thanks a lot for all your videos ! 🙏😊 They are very precious for my study. You talk about phlegme that can affect the spirit, the Shen. Do you recommand other points than SP9 and ST40 to drain phlegme in this specific case ? Thanks for your answer. 🙏😊 Have a nice day !
Nice video. I have excessive mucus generation and inflammation in throat, pharynx, head, abdomen, and chest tightness(rare times). I also have mental irritability, anger, anxiety when mucus and internal swelling/congestion is more intense. Can you suggest some chinese or ayurveda medicines? Thanks
Is it related to frequent urination? Note that the person performed examinations of the kidneys, bladder, and everything related to the urinary tract, and all of them were fine
I read about yang deficiency and this sentence caught my attention: “With yang deficiency, urination can be more frequent, particularly at night, because the yang is not strong enough to hold the urine in the bladder for a long time. For the same reason, sweating with "No exertion is a symptom of yang deficiency. The yang is so weak, that it can't hold the moisture in the skin." This is exactly what happens to me Is there a chinese herbal remedy that raises yang@@Acuproacademy
Use points that sedate, then use needle techniques (with twisting & thrusting). I’ll do a video on needle techniques next month ☺️ easier to demo than to write 🌷
It would take me a long time to explain, I would suggest you go see a qualified practitioner in your area to guide you 🌷 they will look at your tongue, take your pulse and ask you questions on your health to figure out if you have cold or heat 🙏
It’s a random question and I understand there are a few different hypotheses out there but I was wondering what your thoughts were on primo vascular system as it sounded quite convincing with actual sizes of morphological structures within blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves. Thanks.
About the invisible flegma, can we consider it to be stored as external energy, thought forms, or be in the aura? Or its all inside our body? Does tcm see outside energy as something real also, in a wya you could treat it directly for instance, with pranic healling or reiki?
I don’t do Reiki or organic healing so I can’t answer as it’s not TCM 🌷 phlegm is part of the body (internal) and mind but it’s all internal not external 🙏
I am being treated by a Chinese Herbalist, he told me I have "Wet Posion " / Dampness in my body, the problem i have is that I am NOT suffering from any of the symptoms I have seen in your and other videos , he wants me to pay for treatment of removal of the issue....im not comfortable w this, can you guide me where I can do further research so I have a better understanding?
Darn, that’s tough 🙏 you can always research Dampness in TCM and also research the formula the practitioner gave you. Dampness can be in many different areas of the body 💦
I give examples in the video, or you can read the transcript here: acuproacademy.com/dampness-versus-phlegm-in-chinese-medicine/ If you think you have dampness or phlegm, I recommend you seek a qualified practitioner in your area to guide you 🙏🏼
Thank you very much Clara for the clarification. I have phlegm and mucus in the throat (lungs) which is chronic and present for years. I tried with accupressure on LU9 2-3x a day pressing for 2 minutes the whole month, but I didn't notice any difference. I would like to try with needles. Should I use yin needle (stainless steel) or yang copper needle?
@@Acuproacademy Thank you. I will try and give you a feedback after some time. I also have needles and I hope they will be more effective with sedating those points than acupressure. Kind regards
@@Acuproacademy Im already vegetarian for 10 years now. And now Im excluding diary and every flour-based meal from my diet. I hope it will work. If you have any other suggestions, Im open to hear it. 🙏
I've had persistent phlegm for 4-1/2 years. 20 acupuncture sessions plus herbs he gave me plus adjusting my diet have not budged it. Would you have any suggestions on what else I can try? Thanks.
@@chieromancer darn that’s tough, sorry to hear that. It could be your environment? Even with avoiding dairy, sugar, wheat and processed foods, it did not change? 🌷🙏
@@Acuproacademy I avoid all those things mostly. Sugar's the hardest. I'm a junkie. But I've reduced my sugar consumption drastically. What about moxi? Do you think that would have any benefit? Thank you for replying.

Does five element theory then play a part to treat the root cause as opposed to just dealing with the repeated damp/phlem.

When you sedate what you you do? I've been taught some methods I would like to know yours. Thank You
Use points that sedate, then use needle techniques (with twisting & thrusting). I’ll do a video on needle techniques next month ☺️ easier to demo than to write 🌷
I see an acupuncturist now and she says I have Dampness heat and cold, and phlegm. Also that its difficult and takes time to treat.
That’s is true, diet is also key to getting rid of damp and phlegm 🌷
@Acuproacademy his long does it take? If you have both and now the entire body has grown in size due to edema water. I easily swell. Thx
The way I look at it is that phlegm is a form of dampness but more localised.
And thicker 🥰
What is the difference between phlegm/damp-heat and phlegm/ damp-cold
I have celiac disease and ovarian cyst and I am confused if I have cold or heat
It would take me a long time to explain, I would suggest you go see a qualified practitioner in your area to guide you 🌷 they will look at your tongue, take your pulse and ask you questions on your health to figure out if you have cold or heat 🙏
