Twitching is a muscle movement; sometimes the area of skin adjacent to them moves along with the muscles. It occurs due to thick heaving winds, and the proof that the twitching is due to the wind is the speed of its disappearance. Twitching occurs only in bodies that are naturally cold, in a naturally cold age, and from drinking cold things; He is soothed by warmth.
The proof of the density of the winds is that they are dissolved only by the movement of the organ, and the evidence that the twitching depends only on the muscles, meat and nerves is the following: in a very soft body, for example, in the brain, the winds do not linger, just as in very hard bodies, for example, in bones, and are retained, for the most part, in parts of the body that are average in hardness or softness.
The causes of twitching are cooling force and wet matter. Twitching sometimes occurs as a result of mental phenomena, especially from joy, but it also begins from grief, from anger and other experiences, for the movement of the pneuma dissolves matter and turns it into winds.
Know that if twitching spreads to the whole body, then this foreshadows sakta or kuzaz, and prolonged twitching in the walls of the abdomen is a harbinger of melancholy and epilepsy. If there is prolonged twitching of the face, this indicates imminent paralysis of the facial nerve.
