CORE DEFINITION

Invisible or visible phlegm turbidity clouding the mind and spirit. Manifested as dementia, mental depression, and coma.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Foggy lens. The heart is originally a clear mirror. Phlegm turbidity covers it like grease. The patient becomes dull and does not recognize people; it is not that the brain is damaged, but a problem of 'wiping the mirror'. Use Ditan Decoction to remove the dirt.

Anchor fast decisions

Phlegm turbidity obscures the heart orifices, causing dementia and clouded consciousness. Compared with phlegm-fire harassing the heart, it tends to be deficiency-cold with no significant heat signs.
