Can moxibustion nourish the kidneys?

When it comes to kidney-tonifying belts, one immediately thinks of the various kidney-tonifying medicines on the market. This kind of medicine is extremely harmful. First, it is addictive, leading to organic atrophy; second, it leads to various diseases such as prostate cancer; third, it causes central nervous system disorders and brings about a series of complications. In fact, moxibustion can also nourish the kidneys. Moxibustion can not only treat the lack of qi and blood in the body, but also prevent many people with kidney deficiency from suffering from kidney deficiency.

Kidney Qi, the Qi transformed from kidney essence

"Kidney Qi" refers to the Qi transformed from kidney essence. It reflects the functional activities of the kidneys and is particularly important to the life activities of the human body. If the kidney qi is insufficient, it will not only lead to premature aging and shorten lifespan, but will also cause various diseases, which is extremely detrimental to health. As cold corresponds to the kidney in the five elements, it is most likely to damage the kidney's yang energy, and it is easy to develop symptoms such as cold pain in the waist and knees, susceptibility to wind and cold, and frequent urination at night.

Moxibustion can also nourish the kidneys. Pay attention to the acupoint selection.

Kidney Qi, reflecting kidney function

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, "kidney qi" is the qi generated by kidney essence, which reflects the functional activities of the kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the rise and fall of kidney qi is closely related to the growth, development and aging of the human body. The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" used kidney qi to explain the process of the human body's transition from growth and development to aging and death. The Suwen Shanggu Tianzhen Lun points out that when girls reach around seven years old and boys reach around eight years old, their kidney qi is strong, which promotes the development and growth of various parts of the body; when girls reach around forty-nine years old and boys reach around sixty-four years old, they begin to show signs of aging due to the decline of kidney qi.

Why is moxibustion the best way for men to nourish their kidneys?

Moxibustion is a type of acupuncture treatment. Moxibustion is effective for all symptoms of cold, heat, deficiency and excess. Its mechanism ultimately lies in its ability to clear the meridians. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, moxibustion is the most powerful method to nourish the kidneys. It is non-toxic and has no side effects. It does not require injections or medication. It acts directly on the kidney acupoints and the effects can even be immediate.

Kidney yang deficiency is a major aspect of kidney deficiency. Kidney Yang, also known as Yuan Yang, is the true Yang of the whole body. It is the driving force behind the activities of Yang Qi in the five internal organs and the root of Yang Qi in the body. As stated in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, "Yang Qi is like the sky and the sun. If it loses its place, life will be shortened and not obvious." As Zhang Jingyue said, "All that is warm throughout the body is Yang Qi; all that is alive throughout life is Yang Qi. The unpredictable powers of the five sense organs are also Yang Qi."

Moxibustion can also nourish the kidneys. Pay attention to the acupoint selection.

Other Yang Qi in the human body, such as Heart Yang, Spleen Yang, and Wei Yang, are all based on Kidney Yang. If the Yang Qi of the body is sufficient, the skin will be strong and tight, and the Ying and Wei will be in harmony, which can defend against the invasion of external evils; if the spleen Yang is strong, it can transport and transform the essence and nourish the whole body; the heart is the master of the body's Yang, and if the heart Yang is sufficient, it will be like all things are bathed in sunlight, and the Qi and blood in all meridians will flow smoothly.

Therefore, Kidney Yang is the basis of life and the root of the Yang Qi of the five internal organs, that is, "the Yang Qi of the five internal organs cannot be developed without it." Therefore, Yang Qi has a very close relationship with human aging and the occurrence of diseases. “If the Yang essence is strong, one can live a thousand years” and “If the Yang essence is there, one can reproduce” this is what it means. In other words, the main reason why people get sick and age is the deficiency of Yang Qi, and the main function of health-preserving moxibustion is to nourish Yang Qi and benefit true Yin. Therefore, it can prevent and cure diseases, resist aging and prolong people's lifespan.
