2. Applying hot compress to the navel with salt and fennel has the effect of nourishing the kidneys

As they age, many men tend to suffer from liver and kidney yin deficiency due to a gradual lack of yin fluid. To avoid this situation, here is a trick: fry half a pound of table salt and a little fennel together, then put them in a cloth bag and apply it to your navel. This can achieve the purpose of regulating yin fluid and promoting the balance of yin and yang.

Among them, salt enters the kidney meridian and has a certain effect of tonifying the kidney and nourishing yin; fennel is pungent and warm, and has the effect of opening the orifices. It is placed at the navel because the navel is an important part for regulating the body's yin fluid, and salt is easily absorbed by the body through this part. The reason why it is fried hot is that, on the one hand, the heat energy promotes the body's absorption of salt, and on the other hand, the heat effect directly stimulates the navel and can effectively regulate the meridians.

To achieve greater effect, it is recommended to apply it between 17:00 and 19:00, because this is the time when the kidney meridian is in season and it is also the best time to nourish the kidney. In addition, you should also eat more black kidney-nourishing foods, such as black bean milk, sesame paste, walnut kernels, etc.

It should be noted that when you first use coarse-grain salt for hot compresses, red and white "spots" will appear on your belly. Generally, these spots will disappear after the third or fourth time. If you have sores or ulcers around your belly button, do not use this health care method.

3. Apply hot compress to the armpits to strengthen the heart and lungs

When it comes to keeping fit, many people know that there are many acupoints on the hands and feet, which can be massaged frequently for health. However, they did not expect that the armpit, a part that people rarely touch in daily activities, has health benefits that are no less than those of the hands and feet.

The armpit is the passage of blood vessels and nerves between the neck and upper limbs. It is also the gathering place of axillary arteries and axillary lymph node groups. It is responsible for blood transportation and immune defense functions. There is an important acupuncture point in the armpit, which is called Jiquan in traditional Chinese medicine (the pulsation point of the axillary artery at the apex of the armpit).

Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine attach great importance to the health-care function of the armpits. Pressing the armpits frequently is very good for your health.

Western medicine believes that regularly massaging the armpits can improve blood supply and stimulate lymph, thereby improving cardiopulmonary function, increasing lung capacity, and improving respiratory system function; it can also promote appetite and improve digestion.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acupuncture and massage of the Jiquan point have the effect of relaxing the chest and calming the mind; it can regulate qi and blood, relieve spasms and pain, and relieve "heart pain", and has a certain effect on cold pain in the elbows and arms; it promotes nerve and body fluid circulation, allowing the organs throughout the body to enjoy more nutrients and oxygen.
