Verily, wind, bile, and phlegm wander over every part of the body. Excited or unexcited, they produce bad or good consequences in every part of the body.
In their normal or unexcited state they produce beneficial results, such as growth, strength, good complexion, clearness of the senses, &c.
When not in their normal state, they produce many evil consequences called Disease.
