The best way to open up the kidney meridian

The kidneys are responsible for the body's energy and spirit. If the kidneys are not healthy, it may cause a series of diseases. Therefore, when there is a problem with your kidneys, you should go to a doctor in time to find the correct treatment method. In traditional Chinese medicine, sometimes the doctor will open up the kidney meridian for the patient to treat kidney disease. Because there are many different meridians in the kidneys, connecting every organ in the human body, what are the best ways to open up the kidney meridians?

Kidney Meridian

The kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution and the root of life. It can store true yin and generate primordial yang, and is the organ of water and fire. What is the kidney meridian? After all, the kidney meridian is a series of meridians that connect the kidneys with other internal organs. If it is blocked, the bones will become weak and the teeth will loose and fall out. If the essence and blood are insufficient, the hair will become dry and fall off. Tinnitus, deafness, abnormal urination and defecation, and poor reproductive function.

The kidney meridian is the most important meridian in the human body, just like a big tree. If the roots are broken or have problems, the whole tree will not get nutrients, the leaves will wither, and the trunk will rot. Therefore, keeping the kidney meridian unobstructed can ensure that all parts of the body are nourished by the Yuan Yang and are healthy.

We must cultivate it early, take care of it at all times, and never let our foundation be shaken or collapsed.

How to open up the kidney meridian?

Opening up the kidney meridian can also help improve some symptoms, such as irregular menstruation, prolapse of the uterus, spermatorrhea, difficulty urinating, edema, constipation, diarrhea, prostate disease, etc., as well as lesions in the meridians. If any of these situations occur, you can try to open up the kidney meridian.

There are a total of 27 acupoints on the Kidney Meridian, starting from the Yongquan point on the soles of our feet and ending at the Yufu point on the chest. Today I will only talk about a few key points, because to say more is the same as not saying anything :) If you can handle these few, you are already awesome!

1. Yongquan Point

How many people still don’t know the location of this acupoint? It has been repeated many times in the circle of friends (xuzhen2018) and the official account. This is the source of the kidney meridian. No wonder the kidneys are not in good condition. It turns out that you can only see with your eyes.

Located on the sole of the foot, in the depression at the front of the foot when the foot is curled; or at the intersection of the front 1/3 and the back 2/3 of the line connecting the crease heads of the second and third toes and the heel. To nourish the kidney and strengthen the essence, regular acupoint massage can stimulate the Qi of the kidney meridian, dredge the meridians of the kidney meridian, harmonize the Qi and blood of the kidney, adjust and improve the function and functional activities of the kidney, make people have sufficient kidney essence, sharp ears and eyes, full of energy, and strong walking. Place the tip of your thumb or index finger on the Yongquan point on the sole of your foot, and massage it back and forth. It is best to massage it 100 times a day. This point can lead Qi and blood downward, so it can treat symptoms of Qi and blood reflux such as high blood pressure, nosebleeds, headache, and asthma.

For example, you can massage your feet after soaking them, but don't overdo it. Just be moderate. Excessive massage will secretly damage the kidney meridian (massaging the soles of your feet will make your whole body relaxed).

A tip: This method is suitable for those who feel obvious pain when applying a little force to this point. If you use a lot of force but there is no obvious pain or the skin at this point is inelastic and sinks deeply when pressed, you should not use massage (it will make the kidney qi weaker), but you can choose to use medicine application (apply Chinese medicine powder to the acupoint).

If you often have oral ulcers, restlessness and insomnia, rubbing the Yongquan points on the soles of both feet with the base of your palms for 15 minutes each day can help relieve the symptoms.

If you have headache, dizziness, blurred vision, sore throat, dry throat, aphonia, difficulty urinating, difficulty defecation, infantile convulsions, hot soles of the feet, epilepsy, cholera, cramps, fainting, nosebleed, and difficulty urinating and defecation, you can also massage this point frequently.

2. Taixi

In ancient times, it was also called "one of the nine points for returning yang". It is a major tonic point that focuses on nourishing the kidneys and has a significant effect in improving kidney function. If you feel kidney deficiency, such as sore waist and weak knees, dizziness and blurred vision, press Taixi. The effect will be seen immediately, much faster than taking kidney-tonifying medicine. The ancients compared the kidney meridian to a stream that would gather and flow through this point, just like a sluice gate, which is unobstructed and flexible, and can also nourish yin and the kidney, and regulate the Chong and Ren meridians.

Located on the inner side of the foot, behind the medial malleolus, in the depression between the tip of the medial malleolus and the Achilles tendon. Use the thumb of the opposite hand to massage, or you can use a massage stick or a smooth wooden stick. Be careful to use gentle force, and stop when you feel soreness and swelling. Do not use too much force to avoid hurting the skin.

It has many benefits for girls. It can maintain the vitality of the ovaries and uterus and delay the onset of menopause. So all beauties please remember this point. I know you love beauty.

If you suffer from insomnia, deafness, tinnitus, bronchial asthma, childhood tics, toothache during menstruation, hair loss due to kidney deficiency, inner ear vertigo, hypertension, spermatorrhea, enuresis, and pseudomyopia, you can also massage this point frequently.

3. Zhaohai Point

On the inside of the foot, in the depression below the tip of the medial malleolus. Zhao means wherever light reaches. This point is an important point for treating eye diseases. Zhaohai means that stimulating this point can make your eyes bright and see the vastness of the ocean. It is also an important acupoint for treating sore throat, and it has a good effect on acute and chronic tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and nasopharyngeal duct inflammation. This point has a good calming effect. Combined with the Shenmai point of the bladder meridian, it is very effective in treating insomnia and neurasthenia. It can also be used to treat clubfoot caused by hemiplegia due to stroke. In addition, this point is an important point for diuresis and swelling reduction. Regular pressing can enhance the urinary function of the kidneys.

4. Fuliu Point

2 inches directly above Taixi acupoint. "Liu" means the way water flows slowly and windingly; "fuliu" means to make stagnant water flow again. This point is specifically designed to dredge the meridians and activate the collaterals, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, remove dead tissue and promote tissue regeneration. Therefore, it can treat chronic low back pain caused by blood stasis, swollen and painful knee joints, edema and oliguria, irregular menstruation, urinary tract infection, and non-healing ulcers and wounds. Fuliu acupoint belongs to metal, and the kidney meridian belongs to water. Fuliu acupoint is the mother acupoint of this meridian. It can not only produce kidney water (metal produces water), but also suppress liver fire (metal overcomes wood). Therefore, it can also treat night restlessness and insomnia, cough, asthma, night sweats, dry mouth and frequent urination. When used together with Chize acupoint of the lung meridian, the therapeutic effect is better.

5. Guanyuan Point - Men with kidney deficiency should pay special attention to this point

Located four horizontal fingers below the navel. A place where one’s true essence is hidden. It has the effects of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, replenishing deficiency and benefiting loss. This point is an important point on the Ren meridian for strengthening the whole body. Regular finger pressure and massage stimulation can replenish vital energy, regulate qi and blood, benefit the kidneys and strengthen the abdomen, enhance the function of internal organs, and improve the body's immunity.

It is one of the ten important acupoints for human health care. It can restore youthful vitality and treat various reproductive system diseases.
