FEBRUARY is winter according to the astrological calendar, but according to the biological calendar the spring season starts on February 13. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the most sensitive and most at risk. The element Water still reigns supreme.
LEDVINES are considered one of the most important organs of the body. They are said to be „the root of the yin-yang of all internal organs“ and „the source of life“. The kidneys store the innate life force and matter from which man is born, lives and produces more offspring. They are the basic organ determining the length of life. From birth onwards the energy decreases, once it is exhausted, the organism dies. There is no way to increase this energy, only to keep the state of decline as slow as possible and to preserve this energy in as high a quality as possible.
The kidneys also control water, they are in charge of managing the process of transformation and movement of fluids in the body from entry to excretion. The kidneys include the bladder, bones and marrow, brain, hair, ears, rectum and urethra.
According to the organ clock, the kidneys work the hardest between 17. - 7 p.m., so it is advisable to support their activity at this time.
How does kidney weakening manifest itself?
Most commonly, renal disharmony is manifested by a reduction or retention of urination or, conversely, by profuse urination and bedwetting, which occur when the emptiness of the kidney qi causes a weakening of the kidney's constrictive functions. Disturbances in sexual function are also associated with disharmony. Common manifestations include pressure and pain in the sacrum and lumbar region, weakness of the lower limbs, cold feet, loss of vitality, impaired hearing, tinnitus to deafness, infertility, swollen upper eyelids or even poor hair quality.
Insomnia and general nervousness are related to the emptiness of yin, forgetfulness to the exhaustion of the essence of the kidneys. The weakening of the kidneys is also manifested by knee pain, swelling of the legs. Watery swellings are caused by the emptiness of the yang of the kidneys; water begins to stop and accumulate in the superficial parts of the body.
How to get into balance?
It is necessary to be in harmony with nature, which is still resting. Therefore, lack of sleep, excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol, lack of exercise, rushing through meals, stressful situations take away vital energy from the kidneys. So let us enjoy peace in our lives, rest and as much warmth as possible, especially protecting our hands and feet.
On a spiritual level, the health of the kidneys is reflected in our relationships with our partners and the relationship we have with ourselves, animals and plants. We need to learn to love all beings around us. The kidneys are harmed by cold (disinterest, cold, unreceptive attitude in partner relationships) and their activity is stimulated by pleasant warmth (love from the heart). The kidneys also react unfavourably to spicy food and harsh, direct speech, but they are comforted by calm and caressing food and family comfort and caresses.
What foods help us strengthen the kidneys?
The kidneys are very susceptible to cold, so we need to protect them with a nutritious, protein-rich warming diet. All cold foods and white sugar have a threatening effect on the kidneys. The most suitable foods are mainly legumes, soups (preferably broth), possibly meat-based foods, compotes and cooked cereals. It is also important to avoid excessive salting, sugar, strongly cooling foods, drinking coffee and alcohol.
Suitable cereals for strengthening the kidneys are buckwheat, oats or buckwheat. For legumes, choose adzuki red and white beans, lentils and soya beans. Vegetables are recommended lightly steamed or fermented. Onions, garlic, ginger, fennel, celery, brussels sprouts, leeks and beetroot will warm up. For example, add miso paste, good quality soy sauce and umeocet to cooked dishes.
Suitable winter spices are cloves, anise, cinnamon, vanilla. Herbs that stimulate the kidneys are, for example, white birch, stinging nettle, horsetail, goldenrod, common heather and cream.
