Women often press these parts to nourish the kidneys

　　1. Yongquan point - the "longevity point" that nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the body's vitality”

　　Yongquan point is a very important point on the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian of the human body. It is located at the intersection of the anterior third of the midline of the sole of the foot, which is the depression in front of the sole of the foot when the toes are flexed. "Huangdi Neijing" says: "The kidneys come from the spring, and the spring comes from the heart of the foot. ”This means that the Qi in the kidney meridian is like water from a spring, originating from under the feet and gushing out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. Therefore, Yongquan point plays an important role in health care.

　　Regarding the benefits of massaging the Yongquan point, there is a saying: “The three-mile Yongquan point is the secret to longevity. Press it a hundred times before going to bed to strengthen the spleen and replenish essence and blood. It can replenish qi and spirit, and protect the three treasures; if you know the meaning, you can pick the longevity star easily. ”It can be seen that regular massage of Yongquan point can make people have sufficient kidney essence, sharp ears and eyes, full of energy, strong sexual function, strong waist and knees, and strong walking.

　　2. Taixi point - the "Yangtze River" where the vitality of the kidney meridian is gathered.”

　　The kidney is the innate foundation of human beings. The yin and yang of the human body are derived from it, so the kidney is the source of the vitality of the human body. Taixi point is the original point of the kidney meridian and is the "Yangtze River" that gathers the vitality of the kidney meridian. Therefore, the ancients called Taixi point "one of the nine points for restoring Yang" and believed that it has a very high power of restoring Yang and relieving adverse events. In ancient times, many doctors used this point to "replenish kidney qi and stop life and death" when facing dying patients. If a beating artery can be felt at this point, it means that the patient's kidney qi is not exhausted and can still be treated; if there is no beating, it means that the patient is plagued by yin energy and is in danger.

　　Stimulating Taixi acupoint can significantly improve kidney function, so you can massage Taixi acupoint regularly for about 5 minutes each time. There is no need to stick to the method. Of course, the massage effect is better during the flow time of the kidney meridian, that is, between 17 and 19 p.m. When massaging, you can use the thumb of the opposite hand to massage, or you can use a massage stick or a smooth wooden stick to massage; the strength of the massage should not only cause soreness, but also numbness.

　　3. Guanyuan Point - the place where the true energy of the body is sealed

　　There is a very important basic substance and driving force in our body that maintains human life activities, called vitality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vitality is innate, stored in the kidneys, and depends on acquired essence for nourishment. Its main function is to promote the growth and development of the human body, warm and stimulate the physiological functions of organs, meridians and other tissues and organs.

　　Vitality is innate, inherited from parents, and dependent on nurture. As time goes by, it will gradually decrease, and people will show an aging trend. How can we better protect our vitality? Stimulating the Guanyuan point is a good way. Guanyuan point is like a valve in the human body, which traps the vitality of the human body in the body so that it does not leak out. It is the place where men store semen and women store blood. It is the intersection of Yuanyin and Yuanyang in the human body, and it is also the gateway for vitality.
