FEELING CLEARED AND BALMY, and significantly, 'balm' is any of various slippery, strong-smelling, and/or resinous substances often of medicinal value exuding from certain woods and plant shafts, especially those from hot and wet, humid, steamy regions.「Tonguing female」or euphemistically a「singing girl」both frankly are a girl with a dexterous tongue. A DIVA today is a highly distinguished female singer, and the word originates from「divine, a goddess, a really good singing girl」who was trained as the apprentice of a divining female, the local shaman witch doctor…「singing girl」is a euphemism for a superb sexual services provider, perhaps since she can use her tongue so well or because she causes her clientele to cry out loud and burst into hollering song.
Shamans sold the services of these girls, and sold the girls themselves, too…called 'witch doctors' because they also sold divination religious services along with sex, and attempted to doctor you up after you contracted a sexually transmitted infectious disease.
「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」
[ https://www.zum.de/whkmla/sp/0910/hersheys/hersheys5.html 2011-04-05 ] but this was a common practice long prior to the Song Dynasty who just formally accepted its inevitability.「Singing girl」is a Chinese euphemism for prostitute or a sexually promiscuous tart…and the Chinese did not refer to them as tarts for no reason, being so much fun to eat, as is an open pastry casing having no top crust with a sweet filling.
Some scholars say these elements are「sun with female」who is with you picnicking at ease on a clear day, spending time with you only when you need her during a short-term rental period as an escort, and to clear one's piping with her blowing windpipe, so necessary for clear tones while singing.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
