What is the function of the dimples on women's waist?

Speaking of the term "dimples on the waist", I believe many people are familiar with it. Some people envy women with dimples on the waist, because from an aesthetic point of view, having dimples on the waist has become one of the signs of a devilish figure in the modeling industry, and having dimples on the waist means that your body is more even and more beautiful. But some people say that having dimples on the waist means you have kidney deficiency. Is this really the case? Many people on the Internet say that this name is derived from traditional Chinese medicine. But in fact, in the medical field, the professional name of the dimples is Mackays spine. The dimples are located in the waist of our back, that is, on both sides of the sacrum above the buttocks where the intervertebral discs are connected.

This part of the waist happens to be located in the kidney area and is also concave, so some people think that the dimples on the waist are a sign of kidney deficiency. However, there is no such term in the Chinese medicine community. From a women's aesthetic point of view, women naturally feel that they look better if they are thinner, and dimples on the waist are only found in thin women. It is said that only 3% of young women in the world have dimples on the waist. Not having dimples on the waist does not actually mean that you are not beautiful, because some extremely beautiful women do not have dimples on the waist.

What causes women's waist dimples to be deep?

"People think that dimples on the waist are a sign of kidney deficiency, probably because the dimples on the waist are located at the location of the kidneys and are concave. Many people think that this is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine, but in fact, traditional Chinese medicine does not have such a theory."

As the saying goes, a man's head is like a woman's waist. From an aesthetic point of view, thin women are more beautiful, the so-called "wavy waist", and dimples on the waist are only found in thin women. However, from a health perspective, being thin is not very healthy. Therefore, Zhou Xiaoqing believes that from this perspective, having dimples on the waist is not necessarily very healthy. However, it is certain that there is no connection between dimples on the waist and kidney deficiency.

Because the claim that "dimples on the waist mean kidney deficiency" is mostly from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to mention the term for kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. Kidney deficiency in Chinese medicine does not only refer to insufficient function of the kidney organ in Western medicine, but is a huge system involving many aspects such as spirit, hair, limbs, sleep talking, etc. Therefore, kidney deficiency in Chinese medicine cannot distinguish between men and women, and it does not only refer to whether the reproductive function is normal.

Therefore, this kind of dimple on the female waist has nothing to do with kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine.

How do dimples form?

Dimples on the waist are something you are born with. There is a tendon extending between the posterior superior iliac spine and the subcutaneous tissue, and the soft tissue covering such as muscles in the area is relatively thin, so the visible indentation is the "waist dimple". The formation of dimples is related to the congenital genetically inherited pelvic structure. The dimples on the waist can be removed through training. In order to have dimples on the waist, there needs to be less fat in the area of ​​the posterior superior iliac spine and subcutaneous tissue. By doing exercise naturally, reducing the sagging fat on the waist and tightening the waist muscles, you can develop beautiful dimples on the waist.
