KIDNEY ACTIVATOR, CHINESE TCM CONCENTRATE (30)
[Eliminate Moisture]
Chinese name: Qu Shi (clear dampness)

TCM Energetics: Decrease water, increase yang, relieves stagnant qi (energy), diuretic, clears excess fluid from tissues. When there is a excess water condition it is typically called edema, or water retention. It is characterized by swelling of the tissues due to retained fluids. Qu Shi is an herbal formula designed to reduce this excess of water. The Chinese logically associate the water element with the kidneys and bladder, which filter the body’s fluids and flush excess moisture from the body. But, the kidneys work with another system of the body called the lymphatics. The lymphatics must be functioning properly in order to flush fluid from the tissues and inflammation (an underlying cause of fluid retention) must be reduced.

Emotional Indicators: Fear, wishy-washy personality, moaning, quiet

Historically: Chinese Kidney Activator is indicated for frequent urination, abdominal bloating, edema, puffy ankles, burning urination, backache, burning urination, prostate swelling, swelling of legs, ankles, fingers etc…, and high blood pressure and congested heart failure due to fluid retention.
