Traditional Chinese medicine points out that congenital deficiency and acquired malnutrition can lead to a series of kidney deficiency symptoms. However, clinically, most of the kidney deficiency is mostly caused by acquired malnutrition.
Modern people work under high pressure, overwork, and depletion of kidney qi leads to kidney qi deficiency, so developing good living habits is the foundation of kidney nourishment.
Zhang Jingyue, a famous physician in the Ming Dynasty, pointed out in "The Book of Kinds: Regency": "Desire cannot be indulged, even if it is exhausted, it will be exhausted, and if it is exhausted, it will be really dispersed." Gai Jing can be angry, and Qi can give birth to spirits. Therefore, those who are good at health preservation will treasure their essence. If you are strong, you will be vigorous, if you are vigorous, if you are full, if you are healthy, if you are healthy, you will be less sick. "Excessive room work, essence leakage, easy to wear and tear the body; Moderation and maintenance of sexual intercourse can resist aging and prolong life, but you must not excessively suppress your sexual desire.
Three actions to improve kidney deficiency in just a few minutes in the morning and evening.
Here's how:
1. After rubbing the two hands together to heat up, press the waist and eyes, stop for a while, and then rub down to the tail (Changqiang acupoint). Do it 50~100 times each time, once a day in the morning and once in the evening.
2. Make a fist lightly with both hands, and massage the waist and eyes with the fist or the back of the fist for about 5 minutes each time.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rubbing the waist and eyes and tail with the palm can not only dredge the belt veins and strengthen the waist and spine, but also play a role in strengthening the lean kidneys and prolonging life. Middle-aged people often rub their waist and eyes, which can prevent and treat low back pain caused by wind and cold. Modern medical research has proved that massaging the waist can not only expand the rich capillary network in the local skin, promote blood circulation, accelerate the discharge of metabolites, but also stimulate nerve endings, gently stimulate the nervous system, is conducive to the repair of diseased tissues, and improves the endurance of the lumbar muscles.
3. "Walk 300 steps in the morning and a pot of soup before going to bed", emphasizing soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed. Keeping your feet warm is one way to nourish your kidneys. This is because the kidney meridian originates from the soles of the feet, and the feet are easily attacked by cold, so special attention should be paid to keeping the feet warm. Soaking your feet in warm water before going to bed can lead blood downward, nourish kidney qi, calm the mind, and help you sleep peacefully.
The water temperature of the foot bath should be about 40 °C, the time should not be less than 5 minutes, the feet should be constantly rubbed against each other, after the bath, immediately dry, and rub with your hands in the Yongquan acupoint two or three hundred times. Massaging the Yongquan acupoint can play a role in nourishing the kidneys and consolidating essence.
In short, geriatric diseases and premature aging mostly stem from the deficiency of kidney essence, the dissipation of true yuan, and the failure of yang qi, so middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to the maintenance of kidney qi.
