Explanation 

The kidneys are located behind the abdomen, in front of the lower ribs.

  • Cleanse and filter the blood
  • Regulate blood pressure
  • Create urine
  • Serve as energy reservoirs for the acupuncture system

  • Discomfort in the lower back
  • Discomfort in the mid back
  • Discomfort in the lower rib areas
  • Discomfort in the lower side of the neck
  • Discomfort in the jaw (TMJ)
• Hormones Produced: Erythropoetin and renin.
• The kidneys generate the following emotions: Blaming, dread, fear, horror, peeved, conflict, creative insecurity, terror, unsupported, wishy-washy.
• Muscle connections: upper trapezius, psoas
• Diurnal cycle: The kidneys comes into prominence during the time of the kidney meridian, 5pm to 7pm.

If you have been guided to this page by the subconscious mind through testing, it indicates that one or both of the kidneys are imbalanced in some way.
