Topic on discussion of manifestation of pulse qi of healthy people in the plain questions (Eighteenth article part V) [1]

The normal winter pulse is slightly sinking with stomach qi. If the pulse is excessively sinking with scant stomach qi, the kidneys suffer. If only sinking without stomach qi, it is fatal.

All genuine qi of the zang-organs descends to the kidneys, and the kidneys store the qi of the bones and marrow.
