Kidney Meridian
(Kidney channel)
Symptoms that can be treated with a strengthening of the kidney meridian:
Premature signs of aging (graying, hair loss, deafness etc.)
Cold sensitivity, low back pain, osteoporosis, bad teeth, weak knees, night sweats
Extensive joints, hot soles, slow-paced, rheumatic diseases, circulatory insufficiency
Edema, regular symptoms, prostate problems, effusions, swelling, urinary tract complaints,
Kidney problems, dry tongue, dizziness, forgetfulness, weak sexual activity.
Menopausal symptoms
Thick, cloudy urine means yin deficiency (general weakness).
Pale urine, abundant means Yang deficiency (lack of activity, listlessness, drive weakness).
What belongs to the extended functional circle kidney?
Bones, bone marrow, teeth, humors, reproductive organs. ears,
Growth, hair, lower body orifices (bladder, anus)
The lungs carry the breath into the body, but the kidney function takes them
as energy (Qi) in the body. The inhaled air thus causes a strengthening of the entire body.
Kidney weakness therefore also leads to reduced performance.
A diminishing kidney energy can also be recognized by the hair.
Shiny, strong hair indicates a healthy, powerful kidney function.
Kidney energy also supplies the brain (a special form of bone marrow).
Strengthening kidney energy promotes mental flexibility.
And with it the ability to break new ground.
Excessive heat in the body (for example, too much food, too much fatigue)
or too much dryness (for example, constantly drinking too little) will reduce the humors.
Climate: Cold
Feeling: frightful, anxious, listless, withdrawn, eternally starved
but also want too much (worcoholic)
Healthy condition: willpower, healthy self-assertion
Taste: salty
Element: Water
The most important Points:
Alarm point: G25
The point is in one of the symptoms described above (ie in general weakness or at
Activity weakness and the resulting discomfort) pressure sensitive, painful
Other names
Mu Point
Acute point: K5
With this point are acute complaints of the functional circuit kidney (ie, for example, back pain, effusions, etc.)
treated
He connects directly to the kidney
It strengthens the kidney and thus has a positive effect on the symptoms described above.
Other names
Xi point, column point
Approval point: B23
The point on the back activates blood and energy to heal kidney (track) discomfort
Yuan point: K3
One yuan point always has a balancing effect
it aids in emptiness, weakness (e.g., osteoporosis, night sweats, etc.)
and sedates (calms) if overheated (for example, acute, severe back pain)
So it’s an extremely important point.
Luo point: B58
Yuan point N3 is additionally supported by the coupled Luo point B58
(Couples bladder with kidney, which has a significantly invigorating (strengthening) effect)
Master point: B11
The point strengthens bone, bone marrow, teeth, etc.
and is just as the alarm point painful
Toning point: N7
The point strengthens (invigorates, supports) the kidney (conduction) functions in case of weakness
Sedation point: K1 and K2
K1 calms and strengthens the kidney and has a healing effect on acute complaints.
You can massage the point on both feet briefly.
This is very beneficial, just give it a try
(is part of the everyday health program of many Chinese).
He-point: K10
A he-point is a point of union between inside and outside of the body.
It is always a sea point.
The point is called the sea point because there is a lot of energy (Qi) there.
This powerful energy then goes directly inward to the organ.
N10 has a direct healing effect on the organ kidney and thus on the symptoms described above.

You can get A. general information about the above selected meridian or B. exact information about location and effects to a single point or C. about specific points like alarm point, acute point etc.
A. Meridian effects in general:
Click here on ‘General’
B. Single point
To get accurate information about location and effects to a desired point,
1. Select a meridian
See above: select ‘Conductor’ kidney, liver, spleen, heart, lungs, etc.
2. Then click on a body region (for example, leg, arm, head, or torso) on the left side of the full-body graph.
3. Click on a point on the right side of the magnification
In this information box here appears then situation and effects
4. Finally choose between Western, TCM or Psychology.
Depending on this, the effects of the point then appear
from the Western point of view,
to the east (TCM)
or from a psychological point of view
C. Alarm point, acute point, etc.
If there is a meridian, you can get the location and effects of the special points to a meridian in the orange box on the left. As a result, you can, for example, help immediately in acute cases.
However, special items such as approval points etc. are assigned to the advanced version.
Wood point at kidney meridian K1
Wood points are especially helpful for complaints caused by the wind (for example, acute headaches)
Fire Point at Kidney Meridian K2
Fire points are especially helpful in the case of heat-related ailments (for example, great restlessness, summer heat)
Earth point in kidney meridian K3
Earth points are particularly helpful for complaints of wetness and mucus (such as heavy legs)
Metal point in Kidney Meridian K7
Metal points help especially with complaints due to dryness (sluggish digestion)
Water point in kidney meridian K10
Water points help especially with cold-induced discomfort (for example, cold legs)
What is particularly interesting about the above element points is that the following point is always used as the sinner point and the preceding point is always used as the mother point.
The mother point always has a toning (strengthening, nourishing) on the son point and the son point always has a sedating (calming) effect on the mother point.
So if you want to strengthen a meridian and thus the corresponding organ, then you can always call in the mother point.
Conversely, if you want to have a calming effect on the mother element, you take the Son point.
Example: If the kidney energy is weakened (osteoprosis, cross pain, rheumatic complaints), then you will treat kidney lead points. But it can also help the mother: One selects therefore on the kidney channel the lung energy point (metal point) N7. Man tonifies (strengthens) the energy that nourishes the water. In other words, when the oxygen supply (mother, metal, lung) is strengthened, it also strengthens the kidneys (child, water).
