Kidney is averse to dryness

肾恶燥 〔腎惡燥〕 shèn wù zào

The kidney is vulnerable to dryness. The kidney governs water, stores essence, and engenders bone and marrow. Dryness damages the fluids of the body and wears kidney essence, and severe depletion of kidney yīn can lead to desiccation of bone and marrow. See bone wilting (wěi).
