A Chinese medicine expert pointed out that feet are the second heart of the human body, and feet are very important for our health. At the same time, we should pay attention to protecting the health of both feet. Among them, massaging both feet and rubbing Yongquan acupoints can prevent various diseases.
In ancient Chinese medicine, it was proposed that the kidney is in a spring, and the spring is filled with the heart.
Be sure to find Yongquan Cave
Yongquan acupoint is located in the front depression of the human foot, where you can find the toe gap of the second and third toes. Starting from here, draw a line to the heel, covering the upper third of the entire sole of the foot.
If we do a foot curling movement, we find that there will be a herringbone groove on the foot, and the apex is the Yongquan acupoint.
Rub Yongquan acupoint
We are doing a foot massage at Yongquan point, which is the location of the kidney.
Before going to bed, sit upright, rub your hands hot first, and then hook your toes inward as much as possible. This area will have a depression. Rub this Yongquan acupoint with your thumb and gently rub it without exerting special force. First, make a clockwise circle, approximately fifteen to thirty times, and then make a counterclockwise circle at this part of Yongquan acupoint, approximately fifteen to thirty times.
During such a massage, one always feels that the entire instep is hot. The spring water in this part of Yongquan Cave began to flow upward in succession. There is a slight feeling of soreness and bloating.
Rubbing Yongquan acupoint has the effects of nourishing kidney water, treating insomnia, reducing deficiency fire, strengthening the spleen and stomach, benefiting the kidney and diuresis, soothing the liver, brightening the eyes, and strengthening the feet.
The above introduction is about locating and rubbing Yongquan acupoints, which is very helpful for men. It is recommended to massage this Yongquan acupoint before going to bed, which can relieve oneself and replenish kidney qi.
