"By age 40 it is estimated that the average American adult has cumulatively lost approximately 40% of their kidney function." Dr. James Zhou, Ph.D.
The Kidney
Organ System:
The Chinese Model
To most of us familiar with Western Medicine, the loss of kidney function means the significant loss of our ability to filter toxins from the body. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the prospect of such a dramatic reduction of kidney function takes on much more significance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidney is the seat of procreation. It is the vitality center of the body. It is the clarity of our thinking, our ability to regenerate our body. It is a gift from our parents, the Western equivalent of DNA.
The kidney system supports the body’s reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, testicles, prostate), the reproductive material (sperm and ovum), and reproductive activity (sexual impulse, ovulation, ejaculation, fertilization, gestation).
As such, the kidney is defined as essential to the bodys youthful vitality.
The Kidney is responsible for development and regulation of the brain. The spinal cord, bones, teeth, blood, and hair are all engendered by the kidney.
The kidney regulates the balance and circulation of the liquid substances in the body, including tears, saliva, mucus, urine, sweat, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, plasma, and semen.
Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that a weak or damaged kidney/bladder system can produce:
- Disorders of growth and development, including problems of fertility, conception, and pregnancy.
- Disorders of the central nervous system (multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy).<
- Diseases of spinal column, bones, teeth and joints.
- Disorders of fluid metabolism.
- Soreness and pain of lumbosacral region.
- Loose teeth & weakness of hearing and vision. Sharp hearing and strong teeth indicate strong kidneys.
- Thinning or loss of head hair or premature grey. Beautiful, lustrous hair is the sign of healthy kidneys.
- Weakness and pain of ankles, knees, hips.
- Impotence, infertility, habitual miscarriage, genetic impairments.
- Loss of vitality and susceptibility to cold, inadequate sleep and premature aging.
