The Kidneys are the underlying Zang organ, and the root of the Yin and Yang of the body. As such they ground the energy of the body and Kidney 1, the only point on the sole of the foot, is a reflection of that. Accordingly points on the Kidney Channel are used to ground pathologically ascending Qi and Yang. It should be remembered too, that the Kidney Channel is connected, through its internal branches, divergent channel, longitudinal luo channel and sinew-muscle channel with the Heart, Liver Lungs, diaphragm, pericardium, the nape of the neck, the occiput and spine and the root of the tongue. These internal connections strengthen the relationship of the Channel to ascending Qi and the upper portions of the body.

Points on the Kidney Channel clear pathogenically ascending Qi and Yang from Kidney yin deficiency with kidney fire upwardly blazing,  from Liver Yang uprising or from inversion patterns caused by kidney yang deficiency (K.1, 3, 4).

Points on the Kidney Channel also clears Wind and Heat affecting the upper part of the body. (K.1, 2, 3, 4, 6 ).

As the Kidneys are the root of both Yin and Yang, points on the Kidney Channel are used to tonify Yin (K.2, 3,  6, 10 )  and to tonify Yang (K. 3, 7 ).

Tonifying Yin can clear yin deficient heat with night sweats, sore and dry throat, wasting and thirsting, genital itching and restless leg syndrome. ( K. 2, 3, 6, 7 ).

Tonifying Kidney Yang can treat impotence and infertility from Kidney Yang deficiency ( K. 3, 7, 10 ).

By tonifying Yang, points on the Kidney Channel can also treat cold and deficiency causing lumbar pain and stiffness, cold and numb legs, heels and feet,  cold hernial disorders, constipation,  incontinence and difficult urination, fear and fright- all from Kidney Yang deficiency ( K. 3, 4, 6, 7 ).

The root of both Kidney Yin and Yang is the Jing-Essence. A few points on the Channel can strengthen the Essence, thereby affecting  the Qi, Reproduction, the Bones and the Marrow ( K. 3, K. 13 )

The summation of Kidney Yin and Yang can be simply called Kidney Qi, which may be deficient without predominant Heat or Cold signs, and which is often, but not always, seen in conjunction with Spleen Qi deficiency. Points on this Channel can strengthen Kidney Qi to treat low energy and fatigue, lowered immunity, lowered sex drive, back pain, discouragement, aversion to exercise, sleeping too much and laziness. ( K. 3, 6, 7 ).

The Kidney Yin and Yang is the origin of the Ren -Conception and Chong -Penetrating vessels so the Kidney Channel can regulate the reproductive system (K. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10).

The Kidney is associated with the Will, Kidney Yin cools Heart Fire and stabilizes the Shen -Spirit (K. 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 10, 16, 23, 24, 25 ).

The Kidneys are said to ‘grasp the Qi’ (Shen Zang na Qi) of the Lungs so points on the Kidney channel can treat asthma, coughing and dyspnea (K. 1, 2, 4 , 27).

The Kidneys are associated with controlling water- hence points on the Channel treat urinary dysfunction, fluid balance and edema ( K. 3, 7, 10, 12 ).

The Kidneys are said to rule the two lower yin- the anus and genitals, hence many points on the Channel can clear damp heat from the lower Jiao treating  many urinary dysfunctions, as well as dysentery, diarrhea, hernial disorders, inflammation of the genitals, impotence, infertility and uterine bleeding etc. (K. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10 ).

kidney Channel points, can affect the spine, especially the lumbar spine. The throat, the teeth and the gums as the Channel reaches to these areas.

Points on the Kidney Channel can be used to treat the ears and hearing, and the bones and the joints in general, as these tissues often reflect aspects of the Kidney Jing, Qi, Yin and Yang.

Because the Channel has direct connections to the Heart, Liver and Lungs, points on the Kidney Channel can be used to treat aspects of Yin deficiency of each of these organ systems.

K.16 is indicated to calm the Shen-Spirit  (points around the navel are often indicated to calm the Shen-Spirit, an example of treating the upper from the lower. The navel is the area where the pre-birth Qi is collected, and thus it can regulate the area where the post- Birth Qi collects, around CV.17)

K.16, at the level of the umbilicus is at the junction of the Lower and Middle Jiao and thus especially treats intestinal complaints with concomitant Kidney deficiency e.g. dry constipation and dry stools, also diarrhea, borborygmus, painful urinary dysfunction, cold and pain in the epigastrium and abdomen and cold Shan disorder.
