According to TCM, the kidneys are the fountain of youth, the foundation for a healthy, vital life and graceful longevity. In TCM, the kidney is the foundation for growth, development, and reproduction; for healthy bones and marrow; and for brain functions such as memory, concentration, and intelligence. The kidney regulates fluid metabolism; supports keen hearing, healthy hair, and strong sexual function; it also supplies us with willpower and motivation.
