Which acupoints should be massaged for kidney deficiency?

People with kidney deficiency must pay attention to correct nourishing and health care. In addition to some dietary health care, massage can also achieve a good conditioning and kidney-tonifying effect, which can stimulate the Shangyang point, Guanyuan point, Sanyinjiao point and other acupoints.

1. Stimulate Shangyang acupoint

Shangyang point is located next to the radial nail at the tip of the index finger. Traditional medicine believes that stimulating this point has a significant effect of strengthening sperm and yang, and can delay sexual aging. When commuting on the bus or tram, you can hook your index finger on the handrail or hanging ring inside the car; or in your free time, you can hook your index fingers together and pull them repeatedly; or you can use an umbrella handle to massage your index finger.

2. Stimulate Guanyuan acupoint

Guanyuan point is located 3 inches below the navel and belongs to the Ren meridian that runs along the center of the head and face through the chest and abdomen. The so-called "Ren Mai" refers to a meridian that is closely related to the reproductive system of both men and women. There are many acupoints on the Ren Mai that have the effect of strengthening sperm and yang. You can use acupressure to massage and stimulate the Guanyuan point, or alternately use your left and right hands to rotate around the navel to massage the abdomen and stimulate the relevant points on the Ren meridian.

3. Stimulate Sanyinjiao acupoint

Sanyinjiao, as the name suggests, is the meeting point of the three yin meridians: the liver meridian, spleen meridian and kidney meridian. The Sanyinjiao point itself belongs to the spleen meridian and is located on the inner side of the tibia, about 10 cm above the inner ankle. Acupuncture treatment of this point is mainly for spermatorrhea, impotence, penile pain, dysuria, testicular retraction, etc. It is one of the most commonly used acupoints for treating male sexual dysfunction. Therefore, regularly massaging this point with your fingers can enhance men's sexual function.

4. Stimulate the Yongquan acupoint

Yongquan acupoint is located on the sole of the foot and belongs to the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Washing your feet with hot water before going to bed every night, pressing the point with your fingers, or placing a small round wooden stick and rolling it repeatedly with bare feet can stimulate the point and help sexual function.
