How to massage for the kidneys, teach you how to massage these three acupoints

As many male friends get older, their kidney function declines. Many people take medication to alleviate this aging effect, but the effect is not very significant. Today I will share with you 3 massage methods for acupoints that are good for the kidneys. The combination of massage and acupoints can play a very good role. Let’s learn together.

1. Zusanli acupoint

There has always been a saying among the people that "regularly pressing the Zusanli point is better than eating old hens." The location of Zusanli is 3 inches below the outer knee pit. Traditional Chinese medicine has the key of "Maintaining Zusanli Point in the Abdomen", which means that if we have diseases of the abdomen, such as chronic gastroenteritis, chronic diarrhea, stomach cold, etc., we can massage Zusanli Point. In addition, Zusanli also has a good preventive effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, cor pulmonale, cerebral hemorrhage, and arteriosclerosis. For white-collar workers and people with sub-health conditions, pressing the Zusanli health-preserving acupoint for 10 minutes every day can reduce work pressure and relieve fatigue.

2. Yongquan Point

Yongquan acupoint is the first point of the kidney meridian. It is located on the sole of the foot, in the front 1/3 of the sole, in the depression when the toes are bent. After washing your feet every day, you can use moxibustion back and forth for ten minutes, or rub the Yongquan points on the soles of both feet with the thumbs of both hands for about 10 minutes, which is very helpful for sleep. For people with neurasthenia, the time can be gradually extended to half an hour. Summer is coming. You can take a walk on the cobblestone road barefoot or in socks and stimulate the Yongquan acupoint more. Although it will be painful when you are not used to it at first, it will be fine with more practice. Don't be afraid of pain, because it is very good for the body.

3. Hegu Point

Hegu point, also known as tiger's mouth, is located at the highest point of the raised muscle after the thumb and index finger are closed. Hegu point has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving exterior symptoms, calming and relieving pain, and it has a good alleviating and therapeutic effect on head and facial diseases. Headache, fever, and toothache caused by wind-heat cold, which do not work immediately after taking medicine, can be relieved by acupressure on the Hegu point. The pressure should be enough to feel soreness, numbness, and swelling. If accompanied by fever, you can use a porcelain spoon to scrape the skin on the back of the neck or pull the surrounding skin with your fingers until it turns red and purple. This will help expel heat toxins and reduce fever faster.
