Kidney meridian is known as the 'Minister of Power', the kidney is regarded as the body's most important reservoir of essential energy. The original prenatal energy (yuan chi) which forms the basis of life is stored in the kidney organ-energy system, which is why the kidneys are also known as the 'Root of Life'.

The kidneys control the growth and development of bones and nourish the marrow, which is the body's source of red and white blood cells. Weak kidney energy is therefore a prime cause of anemia and immune deficiency.

It also control sexual and reproductive functions and provide the body's prime source of sexual vitality, which in Chinese Traditions Medicine regard as a major indicator of health and immunity.
