Rub the kidneys and heart meridians more, and the effect catches up with the Liuwei Dihuang Pill!

Tonifying the kidney: first rub the kidney meridian, and then rub the heart meridian

Because the heart and kidneys are connected. The kidney meridian is called the Zu Shao Yin Kidney Meridian, and the Heart Sutra is called the Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra, they are a meridian: on the arm it is called the Heart Sutra, which belongs to fire, and on the leg it is the Kidney Sutra, which belongs to water. The effect of kneading the two warps at the same time can reach the extreme.

There are 27 acupuncture points on the kidney meridians: Yongquan, Rangu, Taixi, Dazhong, Shuiquan, Zhaohai, Fuyu, Jiaoxin, Zhubin, Yingu, Henggu, Dahe, Qiao, Simu, Zhongzhu, Yuyu, Shangqu, Shiguan, Yindu, Tonggu, Pylorus, Bulang, Shenfeng, Lingxu, Shenzang, Yuzhong, Yufu.

The unitary time is 17:00-19:00. It is the time when the chicken returns to the nest, and the unitary time is also the time when the kidney meridian is in order, and the whole body qi and blood are injected into the kidney every day.

1) Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach helps to detoxify the kidneys; Taoist doctors believe that the kidney is the main reservoir of essence and plays the role of the human body's "innate foundation and the root of longevity". The human body enters the stage of storing essence during the unitary period, and the kidneys play a huge role at this time. The operation of the kidney meridian is conducive to the storage of the essence of the internal organs for a day. This is also the best time for people with kidney deficiency to replenish their kidneys.

2) People with kidney deficiency have the best effect of taking kidney tonic drugs at this time. Taoist doctors believe that there is no empirical evidence for kidneys, so kidney deficiency is mainly divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.

The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are mainly manifested as backache, cold limbs, chills, and even edema, that is, the symptoms of "cold", and yang deficiency is external cold. In general, people with poor sexual function can also lead to kidney yang deficiency.

People with kidney yang deficiency can usually take more Jinkui Kidney Qi Pills.

The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are mainly manifested as "heat", and yin deficiency is internal heat, mainly including backache, dry heat, night sweats, hyposweat, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. People with kidney yin deficiency can usually eat more Liuwei Dihuang pills.

3. Other diseases: indigestion, diarrhea, tinnitus, deafness, low back pain, stroke, shock, various joint and muscle soft tissue diseases through the meridians.

- It can be judged from the hair: hair is the essence of the kidneys, and hair is the rest of blood.

If the blood is strong, it will be moisturized, and if the blood is deficient, it will wither", "the liver hides the blood", "the kidney, its bloom is in the hair", it can be seen that the hair grows, falls off, moisturizes, withers, and the most important thing is kidney qi. Whether the hair is black or not is closely related to the quality of the kidneys. If a person's kidney qi astringency ability is strong, the hair is moisturized and not prone to hair loss; On the contrary, the ability of kidney qi to converge is weak, and the hair is easy to be boring and easy to fall out.

The child's hair is sparse and yellowish, and it is accompanied by the phenomenon of "five delays" (i.e., sitting, standing, walking, talking, and stunted tooth development), indicating that the congenital kidney qi is insufficient, and the digestion is not very good.

People with thinning hair in young adults are mostly weak in kidney qi, and the most common manifestation is male forehead hair loss or head hair loss. Such people are relatively more likely to be tired, forgetful, and some have poor sexual function.

People with yellow hair that is easy to break indicate a lack of qi and blood and a lack of nutrients in hair. This kind of person is usually prone to lack of energy, and sleep poorly, which is often referred to as "body weakness" by ordinary people.

Gray hair is mostly caused by insufficient liver blood and kidney qi deficiency after entering middle and old age, which is a normal physiological development law. However, if it is too serious, it may be caused by long-term damage to the liver and kidneys, and a great loss of qi and blood.

"Less whiteheads" are mainly related to three factors: first, congenital kidney insufficiency; second, mental or emotional agitation, blood fever is on the high side; The third is emotional depression, stagnation of liver qi, and loss of hair roots, which will also lead to gray hair in teenagers.

Here are a few common hair-related diseases:

Baldness: Taoist doctors say that baldness is an excessive divergence of kidney qi.

Dandruff: Yin flourishes and Yang declines. Over time, the essence and blood decrease, and the scalp is not moisturized, resulting in dandruff.

Oily head: diseases of the spleen and lungs. If the spleen qi is too much, the function of lung qi decline will not be enough, and the body oil will float upward, causing the head to be oily.

Note: Although abnormal changes in the hair often indicate a specific medical condition, a definitive diagnosis of the disease requires multiple evidences. Therefore, if there is no improvement after abnormal hair changes, especially if it is accompanied by proptosis, hyperphagia, weight loss, mood abnormalities and other manifestations, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
