What is Kidney Meridian?
Kidney Meridian is one of a major meridian in Chinese medicine. It starts from the inferior aspect of the small toe and runs obliquely towards the sole. Emerging from the lower aspect of the tuberosity of the navicular bone and running behind the medial malleolus, it enters the heel. It then ascends along the medial side of the leg to the medial side of the popliteal fossa and goes further upward along the postero-medial aspect of the thigh towards the vertebral column, where it enters the kidney, its pertaining organ and connects with the bladder. The straight portion of the meridian reemerges from the kidney. Ascending and passing through the liver and diaphragm, then enters the lung. Then it runs along the throat and terminates at the root of the tongue, which relates to many of the human ageing process.
