The Transformative Nature of Water

Kidney/Bladder meridian and organ systems.  Water is one of the most unique components of all living systems due to its  transformative nature.  It can exist as a liquid, a gas, and a solid.  It also acts as a solvent.  The image on the right, of the fog rising from the lake, illustrates its amazing transformative qualities.  In our bodies, Water is associated with the blood, lymphatic fluid, saliva, urine, tears, sexual fluids, and perspiration which help our bodies to function optimally, deliver nourishment, and carry away waste products.  Salt is the flavor associated with the Water Element.  If you find yourself craving salty foods, you may have an imbalance in your Kidney/Bladder systems.  Fear is the emotion assigned to the Kidneys which in turn are associated with the bones, suggesting that the Water element serves the deeper energies of the body.  So, if you find yourself feeling fearful, negative, anxious, or aching, think of an imbalance in this vital system.  A healthy Kidney system benefits the skin by releasing toxins through  perspiration.  The color, tone, and clarity of your skin, the sparkle in your eyes or lack of it, and the texture and thickness of your hair also provide clues to a healthy or stressed Water element.  If you have concerns about your health or symptoms, please call me for an evaluation and treatment (acupuncture and non-needle approaches).  Maureena Bivins, L.Ac. Call 818.991.2600.
