Preserving Our Vital Waters: Kidney Yin and Aging

 

In Traditional Chines Medicine, the Water Element or Kidney acts like a pilot light to ignite and vitalize the body and to tend to our vital waters. As we age, we may experience a drying of tissues, membranes, joints and even a brittleness of spirit and mind. This class explores the medicine of the Five Elements, the season of Winter and the Kidney/Bladder with information about how herbs and foods can be used to nourish and replenish the Water Element.
