Yang energy is all over the body, everywhere. Every organ has Yang energy. Essentially, the kidney is the source of Yang energy. The kidney is the innate foundation, containing true Yin and true Yang, also called kidney Yin and kidney Yang. Kidney Yin is the root of Yin fluid in the human body, and kidney Yang is the root of Yang energy in the human body. Treating all types of chills involves warming and nourishing the kidney Yang.
