The water element in our bodies manifests physically as the kidney and bladder.
When our kidney and bladder are healthy then the water element in our body is healthy.
The water element is especially effected by cold.
We usually need to urinate more in cold weather. The kidney channel is the only acupuncture channel that begins on the sole of our feet. If you walk across a cold floor to get to the toilet you may find, that after walking back across it you want to go to the toilet again.
So how is your urination? When healthy the flow of urine will be free and without any pain. You will not be ‘caught short’ – that is find suddenly that you need to urinate urgently.
Any problem with urination will involve the kidney and/or bladder.
- Frequent urination.
- Waking frequently to urinate at night.
- Urine containing things it shouldn’t
- bloody
- cloudy.
This is a brief introduction to the physical aspect of the water element as it manifests in our bodies through the kidney and bladder. We will go into more detail about the kidney and bladder later on this blog.
