Kidney tonifying and health preservation have been an important part of people's daily lives since ancient times. There are many types of kidney tonifying health products on the market today, but how effective are they? In the midst of diverse opinions on consumption, traditional Chinese medicine points out that tonifying the kidney and maintaining health by massaging the tonifying kidney acupoints - Taixi and Yongquan - can achieve twice the result with half the effort. What is the reason for this?
Men need to press the most critical "point" to tonify their kidneys
Taixi acupoint - convergence of kidney meridian energy: The kidney is the innate source, from which the body's Yuanyin and Yuanyang come, so the kidney is the source of the body's energy. Taixi point is the original point of the kidney meridian, which is the "Yangtze River" that gathers the energy of the kidney meridian. Therefore, ancient people referred to Taixi point as one of the "Nine Points for Returning Yang" and believed that it has extremely high ability to return Yang and save adversity.
In ancient times, many doctors used this acupoint to "replenish kidney qi and cut off life and death" when facing critically ill patients. If a pulsating artery can be felt at this acupoint, it indicates that the patient's kidney qi is not exhausted and can still be treated; If there is no pulsation, it indicates that the patient's yin qi is entangled and more dangerous.
Traditional Chinese medicine has found that stimulating the Taixi acupoint has a significant effect on improving renal function, so it is recommended to frequently massage the Taixi acupoint for about 5 minutes each time, without being restricted by the method. Of course, massaging during the flow time of the kidney meridian, which is between 17:00 and 19:00 in the afternoon, has a better effect. When kneading, you can use the thumb of the opposite hand to knead, or you can use a massage stick or a smooth wooden stick to knead; The intensity of kneading should not only have a feeling of soreness, but also a tingling sensation.
Yongquan acupoint - tonifying the kidney and strengthening the elements: Yongquan acupoint is a very important acupoint on the Kidney Meridian of the Foot Shaoyin in the human body. It is located at the intersection of the first one-third of the midline of the foot, which is the concave area in front of the foot when the foot flexes. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon states: "The kidney originates from the spring, and the spring is filled with the heart. The meaning is: the qi of the kidney meridian is like water from a source, originating from the feet and flowing out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. Therefore, Yongquan acupoint plays an important role in health preservation and care.
For the benefits of massaging the Yongquan acupoint, there is also a rhyme that goes: "The Three Mile Yongquan acupoint is the secret to longevity; pressing it a hundred times before bedtime can strengthen the spleen and blood essence; it can nourish qi and spirit, and protect the three treasures; if you know the fun of it, you can easily pick the longevity star. It can be seen that regular massage of Yongquan acupoint can make people have sufficient kidney essence, hearing and sight, energy, strong sexual function, strong waist and knees, and strong walking ability.
