The Kidney isn't JUST the Kidney?

8/27/2014

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, when we refer to an organ, it is not just the physical organ itself but the entire meridian and energy channel of that organ. This week we're talking about the organ TCM calls "The Key to Longevity" or the "Root of Life"

Drum roll please.... it's the Kidney! 
The Kidney Meridian route connects 27 yin points, its path begins in the foot and runs all the way into the lungs and heart, making it one of the most complex meridians in your body. 

And because of its long path it influences a diverse number of things, including your metabolism, fertility, lower back pain, and much more.

We'll feature a few posts in the coming week with more information about your Kidney Meridian and how acupuncture, herbs, and your personal habits can help move and balance that energy.
