=Psycho-Spiritual Components= There is a significant bearing on a mental level. A **person may crave a tremendous amount of sympathy, "feel sorry for me."** When the Earth is saturated nothing will grow. A person **may feel bogged down, a lack of motivation. If there is too much water the Earth gets saturated and cloggy**, and nothing can pass through. Edema causes restriction to movement, pain, massings of water - swelling in the knees, hands, feet, etc. There is general weakness of the whole body, pins and needles, jumping legs. If there is too little water, there is **dryness, hardness, bitterness, and a lack of compassion. "I don't need it." - no sympathy is wanted**. Best point for the knees with ST-35. This point goes tender on women with hormonal or womb problems and it can be used to treat them. Fever with or wothout perspiration, sensation of cold in Stomach, General weakness of the whole body..[JRW]
