The Garbage Can is Full

Our bodies are not as mysterious as we imagine. When we apply the Cosmic Law of Correspondence, “as above, so below,” we recognize that our bodies function much like we do: efficient when well-rested and well-fed, not so efficient when stressed and malnourished.

When “Mama Spleen” is doing her job, she’s constantly cleaning our bodies via the immune system. If she’s too tired to throw out garbage via the usual exits (i.e., urine, stool, sweat), she stashes the garbage in various hiding places around the body. If she never gets around to cleaning up these piles and instead stashes more and more garbage into these handy little hiding places, these eventually turn into what many people call cysts, polyps, fibroids, stones, moles, warts, bone spurs, fatty deposits, and tumors.

A benign growth is when we’re too busy to take out the garbage and cram the garbage deeper into the container -- we’ll get around to taking it out later. A malignant growth is when we still haven’t take out the garbage, have piled garbage on top of garbage, and now have rodents and roaches taking over the house.

We recognize in Thothetic acupuncture that the body needs help whenever it begins collecting. ANY lump, bump, or mole that appears after our birth tells us the body is having trouble dumping its garbage and that it’s time to take action.

We take action by helping the body, specifically the Spleen Meridian, become strong enough again to resume its responsibilities. Once the body’s energy is rebalanced, growths can naturally dissolve, wither on the skin and fall off, or be expelled from the system. This is Mama Spleen saying she’s finally had the time and energy to tackle those age-old housekeeping projects.

Quite like us with our own homes and harried schedules.
