The author of the article below, Jody Smith, describes in everyday language the Kidney as perceived in Chinese Medicine, and she maintains an excellent website http://www.ncubator.ca/ describing her journey of recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I recommend a visit to those readers who struggle with CFS.

“In traditional Chinese medicine, balance is the goal. The kidneys are your source of yin and yang. When you are in excellent health, the relaxed yin state is in balance with the adrenal yang state. When you experience an excess of yin or yang influences, the problem may be in the kidneys. Any chronic imbalance can eventually cause a deficiency in the kidneys. In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are your most important organs. They regulate your internal qi (chi). If you are strong physically, and sound mentally and emotionally, you have abundant kidney qi.”
