Nourishing the kidney starts from the soles of the feet.
The kidney meridian starts from the sole of the foot, and the foot is vulnerable to cold evil in winter. Especially the elderly are particularly prone to cold hands and feet, numbness and other phenomena. Therefore, feet should pay special attention to keep warm. Every night, you can soak your feet and foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine that warms channels and unblocks collaterals, tonifies kidney and helps yang. In addition, there are many acupoints on the soles of the feet, such as Yongquan point. Daily pressing can play the role of tonifying kidney and fixing essence.
Drinking water to nourish the kidney needs to be done well.
Kidney governs water, and insufficient water and liquid may lead to turbid toxin retention; Too much water may be turbid, so drinking water reasonably is also an important part of nourishing the kidney.
Kidney is one of the most important metabolic organs in human body. The excretion of many toxins requires the kidneys to produce urine for excretion. Drinking too little water will reduce urine excretion and easily lead to urinary tract infection or kidney calculi. Therefore, for the average person, drinking water normally every day is a very important way to tonify the kidney.
First of all, take the initiative to drink more water every day, and don't wait until you feel thirsty. Secondly, drink a cup of warm water every morning, and it is best to drink a cup 1~2 hours before going to bed to prevent blood from being sticky and replenish enough water before and after exercise. Don't drink anything like water, it's better to drink plain water.
Timely urination can also protect the kidneys.
Some people sometimes hold their urine because of insufficient kidney qi, unstable fixation, frequent urination and urinary incontinence. However, holding the urine will cause two bad consequences. One is that urine stays in the bladder for a long time, so bacteria have more time to reproduce and invade; Secondly, when the bladder is full and the pressure increases, urine will flow upstream to the ureter. If bacteria have invaded, they will be sent to the upstream position, causing pyelonephritis. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, urine accumulation will turn into turbid qi and invade the kidney. Therefore, timely excretion of urine is also one of the ways to nourish the kidney.
