Strong Knees and Free Flow
The nameNiu Xiliterally means “Ox Knee.” This refers to the shape of the root (which resembles an ox’s knees) and the strength it provides to the lower body.
Towards Leiden
The most important property of Niu Xi is that it directs blood and energy downwards.
Application:This is useful in two scenarios:
When there is too much pressure in the upper body (for example, a full head), Niu Xi pulls the energy downward.
If there are blockages in the lower body (for example, menstrual discomfort or stiff joints), Niu Xi breaks through the blockage and stimulates blood circulation in the pelvis and legs.
Strengthen
Besides exercise, Niu Xi also nourishes the liver and kidneys. This contributes to strong tendons and bones, particularly in the lower back and knees. It provides a solid foundation
