Do any of your patients have difficulty taking a deep breath? Do they yawn continuously or try to take deep breaths but it never feels like it “goes down”?
This is a hallmark sign of the Chinese medicine pattern “Kidneys not grasping Lung qi”. The Lungs are responsible for bringing in air and the Kidneys grasp this Lung qi to anchor it deeply in the body. When the Kidneys’ reserves are exhausted from chronic illness, overwork, or aging, they are too weak to perform this function.
This pattern can be very uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing for patients, which can then create a vicious cycle where the sympathetic nervous system can become activated, cells are not receiving enough oxygen for optimal function, and the Kidneys continue to be depleted. When extreme, this feeling can sometimes be described as “air hunger”.
To break this cycle, the Kidneys need deep, long-term nourishment.
JING Butter nourishes our deepest reserves by building Kidney qi, Jing, and blood. With the help of medicinal herbs like Bu Gu Zhi and Cordyceps, it supports the Kidneys’ anchoring function.
You and your patients deserve to take breaths that feel deep, nourishing, and complete. JING Butter is here to help.
