Just we will look on the functions of some parts of our body. Lungs aids in controlling the movement of water in the middle part of the body, spleen regulates water in middle part of the body and kidney facilitates water in lower part of the body. If any disturbance occurs in negative and positive forces the water circulation will get blocked and this will lead to blockade for producing and storing phlegm in the lungs. The blocked water and Phlegm is responsible for further asthma problems.
The increase in stored phlegm in the lungs will create a problem in all the three organs that is lungs, spleen and kidney by obstructing the airways. As due to phlegm storage the lungs will not get enough oxygen that will lead to deficiency in the kidneys and that will pass on to the spleen becoming deficient and overall there will be an increase in the level of phlegm which will obstruct the airways.So the imbalance is created, because on one hand the phlegm increases and on the other hand the amount of air or oxygen intake decreases.
