The Kidney is responsible for the growth of the bones, nourishes the marrow, which is the bodys source of red and white blood cells.

 

In Chinese Medicine the brain and spinal cord are forms of marrow. Someone with poor memory, unclear thinkin and back ache are associated with deficient kidney energy.

 

The emotiions associated with the kidneys are ones of courage and willpower. Feelings of fear and paranoia can be the result of an impaired kidney meridian.
