Treatment methods for patients with kidney yin deficiency

1. Seal holding: How to regulate kidney yin deficiency? Place your thumb in the palm of your hand, with the tip of your finger at the base of your ring finger (fourth finger). Then bend the other four fingers and apply a little force to hold your thumb firmly. Holding the fist can keep the essence, energy and spirit in the body. You can do it while walking, riding in a car, chatting or watching TV.

2. Lift the heels and shake the feet: When lifting the heels, grip the ground with five toes, keep the legs together, pull up the anus and contract the abdomen, sink the shoulders, straighten the neck and spine, and lift the head; when shaking the feet down, relax the body, lightly bite your teeth, slowly fall halfway, and then lightly shake the ground. Raising the heels can stretch the bladder meridian and kidney meridians in the waist, back and legs, and lightly shaking the ground can also stimulate the internal organs.

3. Walk on your heels: Take big steps, land on your heels first, and don't bend your knees. When you step forward, stretch your toes as if you are kicking a ball; when your front foot lands, stand on tiptoe of your back foot. Landing on the heels first actually stimulates the "kidney meridian" acupoints. Walking in this way regularly can effectively prevent and treat osteoporosis.
