Breathing - Letting go - Opening up
PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION
Ensures the gaseous exchange between the air and the blood.
Participates in the oxygenation of the body, the elimination of CO₂, the acid-base regulation and the pulmonary immune defense.
PHYSIOLOGICAL OBJECTIVE
Optimize respiratory exchange, soothe the airways, strengthen respiratory immunity and promote smooth and deep breathing.
THERAPEUTIC INTENTION
Open the inner space, release emotional tensions from the past and welcome renewal with lightness.

53 - Treatment for pleurisy (pleural pain, effusion)
HOMEOSERUM
pulmonary

CLINICAL FOUNDATIONS
Clinical correspondence based on the observations of John Van Gelder, taken up by Carolyn McMakin.
It also relies on the traditional correspondences of Chinese medicine, in particular the Lung (metal) and its functions of diffusion and protection.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE
Physiology: well established
FSM clinical experience: many clinical observations
Emotional correspondences: symbolic and traditional model
COMPLEMENTARY PROTOCOLS
970/109 (vagal nerve) • 970/709 (parasympathetic)
970/13 (lymphatic, drainage) • 14/17 (edema) • 40/94 (nerve trauma if history)
PRACTITIONER ADVICE
In case of old grief, unexpressed grief or deep sadness with chest oppression, start by regulating the autonomic nervous system (40/562 → 49/709) in order to restore inner security.
Then apply 970/17 (lung emotion).
Depending on the terrain, combine Poconéol 48 with 9 (inflammation), 16 (allergy), 20 (spasmodic cough) or 53 (pleurisy). Pulmonary homeoserum and Bach flowers support emotional release and the ability to welcome a new breath of life.
