Are you starting to lose your vitality?

* Acupuncture Super Point *

• Name: TAIXI

• Translation: 'Supreme Stream'

• Location: 3rd point of the kidney channel (KIDNEY 3)

The acupoint TAIXI is the cornerstone of the kidney channel. In Chinese Medicine Yin and Yang are the 2 primary energies of the body. In females Yin predominates, and in males Yang predominates but for good health both need to flow and be in balance.

The kidneys are the source of Yin and Yang and are responsible for a person's vitality, energy and youth. A deficiency in this area leads to tinnitus, dizziness, sexual dysfunction, lower back pain, urinary incontinence or frequency, general fatigue, insomnia and cold feet.

Why do some people have weak or deficient kidney energy? This source gradually depletes as we get older as you may expect. However, certain things accelerate this process - stress, over-exertion, substance misuse, sleep deprivation and excessive sexual activity.

TAIXI is the acupuncture super point for restoring this deficiency of kidney energy and re-balancing the Yin and Yang. As the damage is done over many years it may take a few weeks or months of treatment to build up your lost kidney reserves, but it is well worth it to feel vital and energised once again.

TAIXI is called 'supreme stream' because it is a fountain of youth and vitality - what could be better?!
