Energy balance & concentration

Having energy is a daily need in our life. The more effectively we are able to accomplish this, the better we feel. A stressful job, long working hours, increased learning efficiency and concentration all have a lasting impact on the energy balance.

Energy and life

People exposed to ongoing stress at work often feel burned out and exhausted during the day. Aside from work stress, many people’s private situation is more strained today as well. Private stress also leads to a state of exhaustion and lack of energy.

Women in particular are often exposed to the multiple stresses of work, children and the household. They need an extra dose of energy every day to prevent exhaustion.

We need more energy when ...

  • We are battling listlessness
  • We have recovered from the flu but still feel tired and weary
  • We are constantly under stress, overtaxed by exhausting day-to-day work and long working hours
  • We experience problems with our energy balance during heavy physical work
  • Increased learning efficiency and concentration are demanded at any age, for example, in case of re-training, challenging training and continuing education, examinations, homework etc.
  • Women are exposed to multiple stresses of the household and work
  • Athletes need energy for training or competition

Energy in TCM

When you feel strong, you have sufficient energy to assert yourself in life.

Although we all strive for values such as love, family and children, certain values affect one person more than another. Examples include caring for a loved one, taking part in rescue operations or investing part of your spare time in social activities. How and what values are practised differs from person to person.

In any case, we experience joy when we can bring a value to life. Naturally, this places demands on us and costs energy.

According to TCM, water is the pool of energy for our life.

The kidneys respond to the element of water. Yin energy is transmitted through the kidney meridian, Yang energy through the bladder meridian.

The energy passed down by our parents, which we inherit and take with us into our life at birth, lies in the element of water. It is literally our energy of life, our qi. This energy is a precious asset that we should protect since it gives us a long life. When the kidney qi is in flower and plentiful, it results in great vitality, sexual power and fertility.

If are not mindful and thoughtlessly squander our energy, this behaviour ultimately attacks our kidney qi. This makes us weak, lost in thought and forgetful. It really gets us down.

Kidney qi fills the brain and bones

The relationship between the kidneys and brain in TCM is interesting. If the brain is not supplied with sufficient qi through the spinal cord, this can lead to poor recollection ability and weak concentration. Vertigo, mental dullness and poor vision occur.

The bone marrow feeds the bones. Weak kidney qi can lead to brittle bones, joint problems and bad teeth.

Fluid balance

The kidney qi controls the transportation of unused fluids to bathe the entire body. On the other hand, the excretion of fluids used by the body is regulated and they are excreted through the bladder.

The kidney and bladder meridians are partners in TCM. When the bladder energy gets progressively weaker, this can lead to bladder infections, incontinence or frequent urination.

Kidney energy is revealed in the hair

Hair growth also depends on the supply of kidney qi. When the kidney qi is weak, the hair gets thin, dull, brittle and falls out entirely over time.

Cold hands and feet

People with weak kidney qi always have cold hands and feet, and get cold easily. They frequently complain about dryness of the mouth, vagina and skin. They often feel cold and tired.

The relationship between the body’s liquid balance and energy is readily explained this way.

Potassium supports the storage of energy reserves in the muscles. A deficiency leads to muscle weakness and general exhaustion. Potassium is important for the nerves, stability and activity of the cells, and a harmonised acid-base balance. It promotes mental balance and improves our resistance to stress. The usually very non-specific symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle weakness, fatigue, irritability and lack of concentration.

  • What foods are high in potassium? Potatoes, legumes, avocado, whole buckwheat flower, European chestnut
  • Fruit that is high in potassium: Apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries, bananas
  • Herbs that are high in potassium: Borage, marjoram, parsley
  • What teas are high in potassium? Arnica, eyebright, fennel

Lecithin is part of the phospholipids group and promotes brain and nerve performance. It is an essential element of every human cell. Lecithin supplementation boosts brain performance and improves memory and the ability to concentrate. Lecithin and vitamin B complex are of great importance for the metabolism of key messenger substances in the brain. Scientific studies have shown that a supply of lecithin significantly improves memory in healthy older people.

B complex vitamins support brain function, attentiveness, memory and the performance of the nervous system. They play an essential role in the human organism’s protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

The B vitamins have many jobs, especially regarding energy extraction processes: They control the nerves and heart function, haematosis and the production of neurotransmitters. B vitamins are particularly important for controlling the energy extraction processes in cells through the conversion of carbohydrates to energy.
