What is Jing Essence?
Jing is the primordial energy that you are born with that resides within your Kidneys.
The amount of Jing energy you are born with and are able to maintain through life indicates:
- The span of your life
- Your ability to heal and recover
- Whether you can sustain yourself daily without needing to reach for stimulants like coffee as a substitute for energy.
When one’s lifestyle is not excessive and is maintained at a sustainable pace with strong health foundations cultivated, then Jing is not leaked and can remain robust. However, if the candle is being burnt at both ends, then Jing will be leaked as exhaustion sets in and we become burnt out.

How to cultivate and protect your Jing
Some say that the prenatal Jing is fixed, and once depleted, is unable to be restored, and that ageing is inevitable. Many would disagree, however, there are certain practices that you can undertake to explore your own potential in this space.
A few of these practices include:
- Ensuring you are properly hydrated
Maintaining a nourishing diet, including Kidney Jing loving foods (saturated fats, dark foods and seasonally and metabolically appropriate foods) - Becoming aware of, and understanding how you can best manage stress in your life and becoming aware of where you give your energy away to
- A healthy sleep cycle
Prioritising rest, time in nature, sunlight and mindful/grounding practices such as meditation, yoga, walking and Qi Gong. - Breathing practices
Incorporate Jing herbs into your diet, we of course love our JING blend - formulated to replenish and restore Kidney Jing Essence.
Tonification

Major - Kidney Water
Minor - Liver Wood & Spleen Earth
Treasures
When there is harmony between the body systems and elements, we cultivate the expression of health known as our Treasures.

Jing Energy with Mason Taylor (EP#02)
Join Mason as we take a deep dive into the mysterious and vitally important energy that lives in our kidneys; Jing. ‘Jing’ is the Chinese word for ‘essence’ - specifically kidney essence. In the ancient Taoist tradition, fatigue, weakness and hormonal imbalance, were all considered a result of Jing depletion. By learning to nourish Jing we begin to stop any “leaking” of this energy, and therefore cease to be in states of exhaustion and restore this energy so that our body can grow deep roots of health to grow upon.
