Yao Yan's point is located in a 34-inch depression around the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra. According to Chinese medicine, Yao Yan acupoint is located at the belt vein (the meridian around the waist), which is the location of the kidney. The kidney likes warming and hates cold, and often massages the waist and eyes, which can warm the kidney and strengthen yang, and make the blood flow smoothly. Rubbing the waist and the tail of eyes with the palm of your hand can not only dredge the meridians, strengthen your back, but also strengthen your kidney and prolong your life.
This is more important for middle-aged men. Because kidney qi is insufficient after middle age, most people's methods of tonifying kidney are food supplements, while some massage techniques are ignored. Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the house of the kidney, and massaging the waist and abdomen can also play a role in tonifying the kidney.
Massage can be done in the following ways: 1. Kneading waist: clench fists with both hands, and press the waist eye tightly with the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint for 3050 times, which is suitable for backache; 2. Knead your waist, press your palm against your waist, and rub it up and down hard, with quick and powerful movements until you get hot; 3. Massage the back of hands with both hands, with the middle finger pointing to the abdomen, pressing the spinous process of the spine, and the rest of the fingers focusing on the upper and lower middle fingers to assist the massage. Hands facing upwards as far as possible, rub each point in the spinous process and the depression under the spinous process that can be touched by hands one by one until the lower point of Yangguan (the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra), and repeat for about 30 times; 4. Pinch the waist muscles and pinch the sacrospinous muscles on both sides of the spine with your thumb and forefinger. Pinch the waist muscles from top to bottom to the sacrum. So pinch it 4 times from top to bottom; 5. Shake the waist muscles: press the waist with the palms of both hands and shake it up and down quickly 15-20 times; 6. Lumbosacral percussion: Hold empty fists in both hands, and punch the lumbosacral part alternately with rhythm. Pay attention to the wrist force, and the force is lighter. Knock 1530 times repeatedly from top to bottom.
