7 tips to help you keep your kidneys healthy anytime, anywhere

Raising the heels can stretch the bladder and kidney meridians of the waist, back and legs, and gently shaking the ground can massage the internal organs; walking on the heels can stimulate the acupoints of the "kidney meridian" and prevent and treat osteoporosis; massaging the kidney acupoints can replenish the kidneys and absorb qi... I recommend 8 health massage techniques to everyone, 8 easy techniques to protect the kidneys and internal organs.

1. Grip

Place your thumb in the palm of your hand, with the fingertip at the base of the ring finger (fourth finger). Then bend the other four fingers and use a little force to hold the thumb firmly, as if holding a treasure.

Holding the fist can keep the essence, energy and spirit in the body. You can do it while walking, riding in a car, chatting or watching TV.

2. Heel lift and foot shake

When lifting your heels, grip the ground with your five toes, keep your legs together, tighten your anus and abdomen, sink your shoulders, straighten your neck and spine, and lift your head; when shaking your feet down, relax your body, lightly bite your teeth, slowly fall halfway, and then lightly shake the ground.

Raising the heels can stretch the bladder meridian and kidney meridians in the waist, back and legs, and gently shaking the ground can also massage the internal organs.

3. Massage the Kidney Points

Sit on the edge of the bed with legs together, rub your palms together until they feel warm, and press them on your back and waist, massaging the kidney points on the back and waist until you feel warm.

It can be done once in the morning and once in the evening, about 200 times each time, to nourish the kidney and absorb qi.

4. Sanyuan style standing

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and clasp your hands from both sides of your body in front of your abdomen, at the same height as your navel, with your arms in a circle. At the same time, bend your knees slightly, lower your center of gravity, and open your knees slightly to the sides. The back is slightly arched, the chest should be contained, the back should be straightened, the waist and back should be slightly arched backwards, and the Mingmen acupoint should be opened. In this way, the front, back, left, right, top and bottom are all round, and the whole person looks very rounded.

This is a basic standing posture method to replenish vital energy. Doing this exercise regularly can replenish the kidneys and strengthen the muscles and bones.

5. Soak your feet in hot water

The most suitable time to soak your feet is from 7 to 9 pm every night. This is the time when the kidney meridian's qi and blood are at their weakest. Soaking your feet and massaging at this time can improve blood circulation throughout the body and achieve the purpose of nourishing the kidneys and liver.

A wooden basin is the best container for foot soaking. The water for foot soaking should not be too hot; around 40℃ is appropriate. The foot soaking time should not be too long, 15 to 30 minutes is appropriate.

6. Take a deep breath

When taking deep breaths, choose an environment with fresh air and try to breathe in through your nose. Keep your breathing soft, slow, even and deep.

Do 6 deep breaths in a set. Then calm down and adjust, then you can do it again.

7. Hit the back

It is recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" that people with long-term kidney disease can face south at the hour of Yin, relax, lean back, and hit the wall with their entire back using moderate force, using the reaction force of the impact to restore the body to an upright position. Repeat this process, about 30 times each time, and do it 2 to 3 times a day.

This can strengthen the waist and kidneys, dredge the meridians, circulate Qi and blood, and balance Yin and Yang.
