Of the 20 pathways known as meridians in the traditional healing art of acupuncture, the Kidney is known as the "Root of Life" and is considered the most important, "since strong kidney function provides power to all the other organic systems and serves as a reservoir of highly refined stored energy".
"Materia Medica" - "velvet tonifies the kidneys and fortifies the Yang -- tonifies and nourishes Qi (chi) and blood -- strengthens bones and sinews. Velvet antler is most strongly associated with the kidney meridian which includes the kidneys themselves as well as the adrenal glands. These glands produce a wide range of hormones with complex activities which include regulating the body's response to stress, sugar metabolism and directly controlling the reproductive hormone production of the gonads. Increasing the natural flow of chi through the kidneys helps to regulate the function of the adrenal cortex and restores natural vitality. Balanced energy allows the body, mind and spirit to heal.
