II. Acupressure Massage

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regularly massaging the Guanyuan and Yaoyan acupoints can nourish the kidneys.

Guanyuan acupoint

The Guanyuan acupoint is located four finger-widths below the navel. Situated on the Ren meridian, known as the "Sea of ​​Yin Meridians," it lies three inches below the navel and is also called the lower dantian. It is believed to nourish vital energy and strengthen the body.

The "cun" here refers to the body's own cun, which is the width of four fingers held together on a person's palm. Therefore, finding the Guanyuan acupoint is very simple. On the midline of the body, measure four finger widths down from the navel, and that is the Guanyuan acupoint.

Guanyuan acupoint massage method

When performing self-massage, first use the Guanyuan acupoint as the center and massage in a counter-clockwise and clockwise direction with your left or right palm for 3-5 minutes. Then, press the Guanyuan acupoint for 3 minutes while breathing.

In addition, moxibustion can be applied to the Guanyuan acupoint for about 10 minutes each time, which has a good effect on tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang.

Lower back eye socket

Location of "Yaoyan Point": Yaoyan Point is an extra point outside the meridians. It is located in the waist, in the depression about 3.5 inches to the side below the spinous process of the 4th lumbar vertebra.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rubbing the lower back with the palms can not only unblock the belt meridian and strengthen the waist and spine, but also improve hearing and vision, strengthen the kidneys and prolong life.

Middle-aged people who frequently rub their lower back can maintain a straight back in old age and prevent lower back pain caused by wind and cold.

Modern medical research has proven that massaging the lower back can dilate the rich capillary network in the local skin, promote blood circulation, accelerate the elimination of metabolic products, stimulate nerve endings, and provide gentle stimulation to the nervous system, which is beneficial for the repair of damaged tissues and improves the endurance of the lower back muscles.

massage method of waist eye acupoint

When performing self-massage, first locate the horizontal line of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra.

To find it, when you put your hands on your hips, you can feel the bone in your lower back from behind. This is the iliac crest in anatomy, and it is level with the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra.

Then, measure a distance slightly more than a palm's width from the midline; that is the location of the waist acupoint.

Generally, when massaging, sit upright with both hands clenched into fists and naturally facing backward. Use the knuckles of your index fingers to press firmly on the acupoints on your waist and rotate them vigorously until you feel soreness and distension.

You can massage for 5 minutes each time, and long-term adherence will have a very good effect on nourishing the kidneys.

3. Heel raises

The heels are closely related to the kidney meridian, bladder meridian, and brain. Regularly raising your heels is a powerful way to boost Yang energy. Therefore, don't overlook its simplicity. Truth is often simple and direct. Below, we will introduce the other benefits of raising your heels in more detail.

The correct way to do heel raises:

Stand upright with your feet together and your hands at your sides. Then slowly rise onto your toes, lifting your head slightly and gripping the ground firmly with your toes. Shift your weight from your toes to the balls of your feet and relax your body. Finally, perform a free-fall motion, letting your heels lightly hit the ground, creating a gentle vibration that travels up your legs to your upper body.

However, it's important to be careful and gradually increase the intensity of heel raises. Avoid excessive force, as this can easily lead to heel pain. If pain occurs, don't worry; rest for a few days and soak your feet in hot water, and it will subside quickly.
