Fear is associated with the organ Kidney according to Chinese Medicine, and with the element Water. This emotion covers a wide range of states: from worry to terror to panic or fear.

Fear, when felt for a long time, or intensely (shock), can damage the energy of the Kidney. A weak Kidney often results in lower back and knee pain, but also in an overall lack of energy.

As the Kidney is linked to reproductive and urinary functions, a lack of Kidney energy can lead to problems related to these functions: fertility problems, lack of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems.

Taming one’s fear allows one to preserve solid kidneys, and therefore a good vital energy.
