Craving salt? Low energy, weak bladder or aching joints. These could be signs of a kidney imbalance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the “kidney” function goes far beyond the physical kidneys. It governs reproduction, growth, development, and nourishes the brain, joints, and bones with qi and blood.
According to the Five Elements theory, a craving for salty foods can signal kidney weakness — a gentle reminder to pay attention to your kidney health. Interestingly, it’s not always about avoiding salt. In fact, eating a little salty food in the morning can help draw out kidney qi and energize the body.
Dr. Ping shares practical dietary advice and lifestyle tips to strengthen and protect your kidneys, especially since overwork and a busy lifestyle can easily deplete them.
