Many people usually only wash a few parts when taking a shower, but in fact, taking a shower is not just a few rubs. For people with health awareness, they won't miss such a good chance to take a bath. Chinese medicine teaches us to take a bath and rub five places to strengthen the kidney.
The first Yongquan point, located at the sole of the foot, is an important point on the kidney meridian. If someone can't find the location of Yongquan point, the easiest way is to bend their toes, and then the place where the soles of their feet are sunken is Yongquan point. Yongquan point is a good health point.
Many people feel sore when they massage Yongquan point. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all organs of the body will have a reflex zone on the foot, and the reflex zone of the kidney is on the foot. They can massage Yongquan point when taking a bath. Massage Yongquan point can make people have sufficient kidney essence, vigorous spirit and strong walking.
The second place is Taixi point. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation, and both yang and yin in the body come from the kidney. Taixi point is the original point above the kidney meridian. In ancient times, many people would press Taixi point. If Taixi point is still beating, it means that this person still has kidney qi.
You can always massage Taixi point when taking a bath. It is best to feel sore and numb. Pressing Taixi point can improve renal function, preferably for five minutes at a time. This effect is the best.
The third place is Guanyuan point. There is one of the most important life-sustaining substances in the body called vitality, which exists in the kidney. Proper pressing in the bath every day can help people grow up, improve renal function and have the function of a second body organ.
The fourth place is the point of Qi Hai. Massage Qihai point in the bath can reduce the heart fire, and also make the kidneys better detoxify, which can promote the rapid discharge of toxins and garbage in the body.
The fifth place is Quchi point. Elbow socket is the easiest place to sweat. After a long time, a lot of dirty things will accumulate. However, the cubital fossa is a very fragile place, and bacteria can easily enter the human body, causing health problems, so wash the cubital fossa more often when taking a bath.
There is also a Quchi point outside the cubital fossa. Massage Quchi point can expel moisture and toxins from the body. Too much moisture in the body will lead to puffiness, and the weight of moisture is too much body fluid, so the burden on the kidneys will be heavy. Massage Quchi point at will can help reduce the burden on the kidneys.
The "five baths" method of tonifying kidney in TCM can help us improve renal function and strengthen our body. In addition, we should pay more attention to protecting kidneys and improving eating habits and living habits in our daily life.
If you don't get enough sleep every day, your kidneys can't recover better and you can't work normally. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep and maintain proper exercise in order to better protect the kidneys.
