During the process of nourishing the body, the lower abdomen, testicles, and lumbosacral region are the most commonly used areas for massage. People can refer to the following techniques and massage themselves at home.
Massage the lower abdomen. Mainly targeting the lower abdomen between the navel and the external genitalia, with the left and right anterior superior iliac spines as the boundary on both sides. When massaging, lie on your back in bed, fold your hands in the middle of your lower abdomen, press your abdomen tightly, and slowly massage at a frequency of about 10 times per minute until there is a sensation of heat in your lower abdomen. The massage can last for 5 minutes.
Massage the testicles. Before going to bed and waking up, men lie in bed with their legs naturally extended and slightly separated. Rub your hands hot, hold your lower abdomen with one hand, and wrap your thumb and index finger around your testicles with the other hand, placing them at the mouth of the tiger. Gently pinch the testicles with the remaining three fingers and silently count 81 times. Then switch hands left and right, repeating on the other testicle. When massaging, one should focus on one's thoughts and seek restraint if the penis is erect. After massaging the testicles, you can rub one hand along the navel in circles, 81 times in both directions. It should be noted that when massaging the testicles, the technique should be light rather than heavy, and the principles of light, soft, gentle, and even should be followed. In addition, some patients with organic diseases of the reproductive system should not use this method, such as epididymitis, testicular tuberculosis, etc.
Massage the lumbosacral region. Sitting in a chair, with both hands and five fingers together, apply appropriate force to both palms, and simultaneously massage both sides of the lumbosacral region for about 5 minutes. Press and knead the Shenshu and Mingmen acupoints with both thumbs for 1-2 minutes each. Then use your right palm to horizontally rub the areas of Shenshu, Mingmen, and Baliao acupoints, preferably for heat transmission.
