Phlegm that is not coming up . .
Lung Qi needs to be able to.
Q – Why we cough?
A – Have a full chest.
Full of what?
Grief
Heartbreak
Cold

Usual culprits above – things to remember.
Fullness – and the lungs are NOT a storage organ.
The cough – or wheeze/asthma is an attempt to do what the body needs to live.
How to undo?
Work out what is the problem – is how the TCM 8 principles comes into play . .
Empty/full
Hot/Cold a good start.
What means?
Colour of phlegm
Also – are they pale in complexion – or red etc . .

Rachel – nearly 4 weeks into a chest infection that has her in spasms of coughing – and bringing up white phlegm . .
She is up a lot at lung time (3-5am) coughing massively.
Morning I as there I went in to press Ding Chuan – and will put more on Fingertip-rescues site soon on this.
MUST USE ARTERY CLAMPS – source from a medical supplier – do not mess this up.
It was a mark of my mastership of the technique that the burning tissue did NOT fall off – do not substitute – you must have the proper equipment.

And a bit of touch – the lymph does need to move – and the online course Healing Power of Touch . .
We will factor in time to show you this whilst you are in clinic . .

What can Rachel do?
