Kidney Essence
Life essence, which is stored in the kidneys, has the function of promoting growth and development of the body. After birth, the kidney-essence gradually becomes abundant with the development of the body. From adulthood onwards kidney-essence has developed to its peak. After middle-age and during old age kidney-essence gradually declines.
