{"product_id":"lucid-channel","title":"Lucid Channel","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccording to the theories of Chinese Herbology, bodily fluids represent the aspect of being that allows for smooth and graceful movement, appropriate contact with people and things, and feelings of generosity and largesse. When fluids stagnate, Phlegm is created. It starts as Damp Phlegm from the Spleen failing to properly transport the fluids, then accumulates to become Phlegm. This accumulation encumbers the Spleen, further impeding the transportation of fluids. \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLucid Channel \u003c\/strong\u003eis the classical combination for helping to transform Phlegm wherever it appears in the body, on psychological as well as physical levels.
