An acupuncture point on the foot is a special acupuncture point for diabetic patients

Unconsciously, there are more and more patients around us suffering from diabetes and hypertension. In order to control their diseases, they take a lot of medicines. In order to make the medicines work, they stop taking this and take less of that.

When I was young, I wanted to eat but there was nothing to eat. Now I have food to eat, but I can’t eat it. Especially for diabetes, all sour, sweet, soft and rotten foods should be avoided, for fear that the wrong intake will affect the efficacy of the treatment. It’s really hard to bear seeing their greedy looks. In fact, if you want to achieve better treatment results, restricting your diet is not necessarily the best way. Here, I would like to recommend to you an acupuncture point for auxiliary treatment of diabetes - Ran Gu point.

Diabetes is called "xiaoke" in traditional Chinese medicine. The "Golden Plaque" by Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty states: "I want to drink water without stopping" and "I want to drink water without stopping, and my mouth is dry and my tongue is parched." Diabetic patients often feel dry mouth and restlessness when sleeping at night, and many people have to prepare a glass of water to quench their thirst at night.

Now, you don’t have to go through so much trouble, just stimulate the Ran Gu point before going to bed. The Ran Gu point has one effect, which is that when stimulated, it will cause a large amount of saliva to be secreted in the mouth. With more saliva secretion, you will not feel so thirsty in your mouth, and the symptoms of dry mouth and tongue can be greatly relieved. Also, the reason why diabetic patients feel upset is because they have too much fire in their hearts.

Ran Gu point is an acupuncture point on the kidney meridian. The kidney meridian belongs to water. Stimulating the Ran Gu point can draw the kidney water down. Water can put out fire. If we put out the fire in our hearts, we will naturally no longer be troubled and will sleep more peacefully at night.

To find the Ran Gu point, you can first find the inner ankle bone of the foot. There is a high bone 2 cm diagonally below the inner ankle bone. The lower edge of the high bone is the Ran Gu point. However, the essence of this area is buried deeper, so you must use force when stimulating it. Press down, and release when you feel a sore and swollen sensation, then press down again, and release again. Repeat this 10 to 20 times. When the soreness and swelling no longer go away, the time has come. Remember to massage the Ran Gu point on both feet.

You may say, I have been taking medicine for so many years and my diabetes cannot be cured, but this acupoint cured it for me. Of course not. The causes of diabetes are complex, and so far, the medical community has no complete treatment. However, massaging acupoints can help alleviate symptoms. And if you want to treat diabetes only through acupoints, there are many acupoints that need to be massaged. Even if I tell you, you may not be able to remember them all. So we will just pick out one or two important ones with special functions to talk about here. If you massage the Ran Gu acupoint while taking the medicine, the effect will definitely be better.

In fact, in addition to diabetic patients, young mothers should also master this acupoint. Because this acupoint has another very important function, which is to treat anorexia in children.

Young mothers must have encountered the situation where their children do not want to eat. The reason is very simple. Children's internal organs are delicate, and the functions of various systems are not fully developed, especially the "spleen is often insufficient", and the digestive function is still very weak, so it is easy to develop anorexia. At this time, try massaging the Ran Gu point for your baby. I believe that it won’t be long before the child will eat happily. Why is this?

Judging from the name of the acupoint, "Ran" means burning and "Gu" means grains. From the name, we can tell that this acupoint has the function of promoting digestion. It can make the human body feel hungry and strengthen the spleen and stomach function, so that food can be digested better. We have said that after stimulating this acupoint, a large amount of saliva will be secreted in the mouth. After saliva is produced in the mouth, it is easier to feel hungry and then you will have the desire to eat.

If you eat too much and feel bloated, massaging this acupoint is also effective. Of course, for babies, because their skin is delicate, you must use moderate force when stimulating them to avoid causing them to cry.

It’s just one acupuncture point, but its effectiveness cannot be underestimated. If you can really master it, you might be able to use it in your life someday. Of course, what I have talked about here is just the basics. But "a tower is built by a collection of sand and a coat is made by a collection of furs". If you learn a little bit every day and accumulate it over a long period of time, you will reap a lot. I hope that what I have said can bring some convenience to your life, which will be the greatest reward for my efforts.
