Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Will: What does Torpor mean? Sounds ghastly......<G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 , Torpor is an older medical word for " wet and stagnant' like a swamp. Not a good thing to have in your belly or your backyard. The more modern words for torpid states are rhumatism and now fibromyalgia since the stuck and excess fluids cause pain in the tissues. The fluids are thickened with mucopolysaccharides (phelgm), which makes great germ food as well as being carcinogenic. This is the root of disease. Symptoms include skin lesions, hangover, lymph stagnation, bile stagnation and sluggish digestion. The pulse is obscured, sluggish and dull. Treatment herbs include dandelion root, burdock root, goldenseal, yellow root, barberry, berberis, and the laxatives black walnut, buckthorn cascara, senna and poke root.
