*congeal: 굳다 얼다

濕(dampness): Pathogenic dampness is heavy and turbid. It is related to stickiness and stagnation. Dampness belongs to pathogenic yin and tends to block the flow of qi and injure yang qi.
燥(dryness): Dryness tends to damage the lungs. It easily impairs fluid and humor.
火(fire): Fire tends to flame upwards in the body as one of pathogenic yangs. It burns and consumes fluid and humor. It may also stir up the blood.
