Extended data

Although there are many diseases treated by Shenshu point, Shenshu point is mainly used for the treatment of chronic kidney disease, with the best effect. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, nephropathy can be divided into edema and stranguria. In Huangdi Neijing, "edema" is directly called "water", which mainly refers to renal edema, but the range of stranguria is very wide, and all kinds of abnormal urination belong to stranguria.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the basic pathogenesis of edema or stranguria lies in kidney and bladder. If the human body is deficient in kidney-yang or the bladder qi is unfavorable, the water in the body cannot be normally gasified and absorbed, and it cannot be excreted in the form of urine. At this time, edema and abnormal urine will appear. Therefore, the basic principle of treating nephropathy is to warm kidney-yang and benefit bladder, and moxibustion at Shenshu point is the best treatment.
