The Kidneys govern water Within the kidneys themselves, as with - TopicsExpress

The Kidneys govern water Within the kidneys themselves, as with all physiological processes, yin and yang qualities are manifested. The kidneys contribute to the function of eliminating acid waste products and helping to maintain proper PH throughout the body by their ability to reabsorb sodium, calcium and other mineral salts into the plasma. The lungs also contribute to this process by eliminating carbon dioxide which is the waste byproduct of glucose and lactic acid metabolism. Acid waste in the body are yang toxins because they cause inflammation and congestion. Sodium, chloride, potassium and other mineral ions which help to maintain homeostasis are yin. Since yin and yang are relative to each other, sodium is yang because it causes fluid retention while potassium would be yin. Extracellular fluid in the form of blood and lymph occupies the interstitial spaces between the cells. It must maintain a proper amount of sodium chloride and bicarbonate with some potassium and calcium. Intercellular fluid on the other hand must maintain a predominance of potassium with a smaller amount of sodium. Let us posit that the extracellular fluid is yin while the intercellular fluid is yang. Similarly, salt is a yin substance while potassium is a yang substance. The balance and interaction of these two through the cell walls is in the form of an electrical charge that helps in carrying food, fluid and waste into and out of the cells. Chinese medical theory maintains that the flavor of the kidneys is salty. By this the Chinese understood the specialized relationship the kidneys have with directly maintaining and regulating PH and by the reabsorption of sodium and calcium into the plasma. As with the regulation of yin and yang throughout the body, this function of the kidneys is also regulated by hormones of the adrenal cortex and of the posterior pituitary.
