In Chinese medicine a woman’s capacity to fall pregnant and give birth to a healthy child is mainly governed by the strength of her Kidney energies. The Kidney’s energy governs growth to maturity, fertility, reproduction, fluid metabolism, bone development and memory. Other important organs are the Spleen which is in charge of digestion and the Liver which ensures the free movement of energy around the body.
