The strength of a person's body is related to the strength of their kidneys. When winter comes, the human body needs sufficient energy and heat to defend itself. If it is weak or weak, symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, weak waist and knees, fatigue, urinary incontinence, or urinary incontinence may occur due to insufficient firepower. This is called kidney yang deficiency. Some people, due to a lack of body fluid in their bodies, have reduced moisturizing and nourishing effects. Clinical manifestations include weight loss, weak waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, dry mouth and throat, hot flashes, red cheekbones, night sweats, and short yellow urine. This is called kidney yin deficiency.
There are many methods for nourishing the kidney and correcting deficiency. For example, sunbathing more, consuming foods with high calorie content and warm kidney yang, choosing kidney tonifying drugs, and so on. But starting from the basic theory of health preservation that "life lies in exercise", nourishing the kidney and correcting deficiency through exercise is a positive measure worth advocating. Here, we introduce several exercise methods that are helpful for nourishing the kidney and correcting deficiency, and are easy to learn.
There are two ways to do waist massage exercises
1、 Rub the palms of your hands together until the palms are warm, then place them on your waist, palm them towards the skin, and massage your waist up and down until you feel the heat. It can be done twice in the morning and evening, approximately 200 times each time. This exercise can tonify the kidneys and nourish qi.
2、 Make fists with both hands, and use the palmar joints of both thumbs to massage the waist and eyes naturally with the outstretched parts of the palms behind the arms. Do a circular rotation massage inward, and gradually exert force until the feeling of swelling is good. Continue to massage for about 10 minutes, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening.
The waist is the home of the kidneys, and regular waist eye massage can prevent and treat chronic muscle strain, back pain, and other symptoms caused by kidney deficiency in middle-aged and elderly people.
Foot massage method
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan acupoint directly connects to the kidney meridian, and the foot spring acupoint method in the foot center is the place where the turbid qi decreases. Regular massage of Yongquan acupoint can benefit the essence and kidneys, strengthen physical health, prevent premature aging, and promote sleep. It has a certain therapeutic effect on dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus, hemoptysis, nasal congestion, headache, etc. caused by kidney deficiency. The method of foot massage is to soak your feet in warm water before going to bed every day, then rub your hands together and massage the right foot with your left heart. Massage the left foot with your right heart more than 100 times each time, preferably by rubbing your feet hot. This method has the effect of strengthening the kidney, nourishing yin, and reducing fire, and is very effective for the common deficiency heat syndrome in middle-aged and elderly people.
