Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds that the kidneys are the foundation of innate vitality, with the congenital essence inherited from parents stored in the kidneys.When kidney qi is abundant, the functions of the five organs and six bowels are harmonized, the complexion is radiant and rosy, energy levels are high, immunity is strong, and one is less prone to illness; conversely, when kidney qi is deficient, the opposite occurs.
Mr. Ni Haixia has shared a method to strengthen the kidneys and tonify qi:
For those with poor kidney function, rise early during the yin hour (3-5 AM), face south, focus your mind, eliminate distractions, hold your breath, extend your neck, and swallow air as if swallowing something very hard.Swallowing 7 times will allow you to feel saliva forming under the tongue, restoring kidney yang.
The saliva produced in the mouth will bubble up like spring water, which you then swallow into the dan tian (elixir field), transforming the essence into qi, and the qi into spirit, which is a small practice for nourishing qi and tonifying the kidneys.
Ancient Indian Physicians: Men with Kidney Deficiency Should Not Be Desired!
The kidneys are the foundation of innate vitality and a crucial aspect of every mature man’s education.
In the film Black Gold, a blind masseur boldly states his kidney deficiency in front of a gangster’s henchman to show off his skills.
The gangster’s face darkens, and the blind masseur loses his fingers.
Thus, in real life, one should never casually mention someone’s kidney deficiency, as it is quite impolite.
Westerners also have kidneys, but they lack the concepts of “deficiency” and “emptiness” due to a severe absence of traditional culture.
However, ancient Egypt and India both have descriptions related to “deficiency,” for instance, traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) believes that kidney function and sexual ability are essential elements for maintaining physical and mental health. When kidney deficiency and sexual ability decline, it indicates an imbalance of certain elements within the body. If left untreated, it can lead to further deterioration, not only causing a decline in bodily functions and serious diseases but also altering a person’s mental state and psychology, leading them to act immorally and become a bad person.
Therefore, ancient Indian practitioners not only treated and improved kidney and reproductive organ disorders but also adjusted the mind and body to change a person’s mental state, addressing both physical and psychological aspects!

The five organs influence a person’s emotions. As stated in Chu Shi Biao: Fei Yi and Dong Yun are both virtuous and loyal.
The kidneys govern willpower; those with strong kidneys often possess pure intentions, strong will, high self-discipline, and good self-control, effectively managing their words, emotions, and actions;whereas a person with weak kidneys may have an unstable will, a tendency to procrastinate, self-doubt, and fear of the unknown, with poor self-control…
The kidneys also govern retention; those with good retention ability can hold their urine well, especially at night, without waking up frequently.They urinate forcefully, have strong sexual ability, prolonged sexual activity, sweat less, and act decisively and confidently.
Those with poor retention ability urinate frequently, especially at night, often waking up.They urinate weakly, have poor sexual ability, short sexual activity, often sweat excessively, have procrastination issues, and strong feelings of fear,and may have a pathological obsession with women…
A pathological obsession with women yet poor sexual ability is traditionally referred to as “a man with a big appetite but little ability.” Thus, ancient Indian medicine states:
Poor kidney function can alter a person’s mental state, leading them to act immorally and become a bad person.
How Do Men Experience Kidney Deficiency?
Upon closer examination, we find that the energy deficiency in adult kidneys significantly declines with age.Daily early mornings and late nights, sometimes with social obligations and public duties, ultimately lead to exhaustion.For teenagers, in recent years, due to the severe influence of adult films, many have overdrawn their vital energy, with some experiencing premature aging before the age of 25.Excessive indulgence is one of the most damaging behaviors for the kidneys; many people often use medications to tonify the kidneys without realizing the principle that “tonifying the kidneys harms the liver,and draining the liver harms the kidneys.” This adds extra toxins to the body.Some people try to tonify while leaking energy; they may earn 300 energy points in a day but leak 3000 points, which is equivalent to ineffective tonification.
Much of what is perceived as kidney deficiency is actually an illusion. It’s like your income; if you earn 3000 yuan a month but have to pay for insurance, loans, friends, and clothes, you will feel financially strained. However, if you reclaim the energy that rightfully belongs to you, you will no longer feel deficient.
By practicing moderation in desires and changing lifestyle habits to lead a more positive life, avoiding excessive time spent in bed, one can achieve a very healthy state.
On this basis, we can cultivate and replenish our vital energy through practices such as zhuang gong (standing meditation) and zuo gong (sitting meditation), enhancing our life energy.Standing meditation is a traditional Chinese practice for physical and mental training that can increase our vital energy, replenish our qi and blood, unblock the meridians, and strengthen kidney qi.
