sanskrit

The mucous in the chest supports the functions of the three systems (trikā-śandhāraṇa) and provides nourishment to the heart (hṛdaya) with the help of the body's own energy (ātma-vīrya) and nutrients. The mucous at the base of the tongue (jihvā-mūla) and in the throat (kaṇṭha) ensures proper sensory perception due to its mildness (saumya) and completeness in sensory knowledge (samyak-rasa-jñāna). The mucous in the head (śiraḥ) is responsible for nourishing the senses (indriyāṇām) due to its role in providing lubrication (sneha-santarpaṇa). The mucous present in the joints (sandhi) supports the joints' functions by maintaining their cohesion and providing overall joint support.
