Winter health, the kidney is king! These three methods are the easiest and most effective!
Spring, summer, autumn and winter Growing, growing, harvesting, and hiding The winter solstice will be in a few days, and you haven't raised your kidneys yet? Among the five rooms, the kidney is sealed, and winter is a good time to replenish and nourish the kidney, and it would be a pity to miss it. If you want to replenish your kidneys, you must first understand your kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people have three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit. Jing refers to the essence and subtlety of our human body, which is hidden in the kidneys.
Innate essence: It is the innate essence of the father's sperm and mother's blood combined to form a fertilized egg, until it develops into an adult, and remains in the human body;
Acquired essence: After the baby is separated from the mother's body, it must constantly exchange substances with the outside world, and through eating and breathing, the subtle substances that are finally left in the body are collectively referred to as acquired essence.
The congenital is born and the acquired, the acquired is nurtured, the congenital is combined with the acquired, and it is hidden in the kidney. The kidneys store essence and refine qi, just like water and water vapor, and then spread to the whole body through the three cokes, thereby regulating the body's metabolism and promoting the body's growth, reproduction and development. Therefore, nourishing the kidneys is the focus of health preservation in winter, and raising the kidneys in winter can fight tigers in spring. Today I recommend three small methods, which are very simple, especially suitable for you who are lazy~~ 1. Abdominal breathingWhen the fetus is in the mother's body, it is supplied with blood and oxygen through the umbilical cord, and the part where oxygen and blood enter the fetus is the navel. When the fetus is separated from the mother's body, it changes to mouth and nose breathing, so as it grows older, gradually, many people can only breathe in the chest (breathe to the lungs) and are not used to abdominal breathing. The kidneys are the main recipients, and the word "acceptance" means to absorb and absorb. When we breathe, if we can absorb the qi into our lower abdomen (the part below the navel), we can let our qi latent in the dantian. Abdominal breathing, on the one hand, can help the kidneys absorb qi, and on the other hand, it helps to fill the acquired essence into the innate essence. 【Specific method】The stomach bulges outward when you inhale, and the stomach shrinks inward when you exhale.
Of course, abdominal breathing can also massage the organs in the abdominal cavity well, and it also has a good slimming effect, with too many effects and endless benefits. 2. Swallowing liquidThe main water of the kidney, the fluid in the fluid is saliva, and the metabolism of the water around us is very closely related to the kidney. There are two acupuncture points under our tongue, one is called Jinjin and the other is called jade liquid, the saliva secreted by these two acupuncture points is really like "Jinjin jade liquid", the health effect is very powerful, andwe often do the action of "swallowing jin liquid", and the effect of tonifying the kidney is obvious. 【Specific method】Tongue against the roof of the mouth (tongue cocked against the gums behind the upper teeth), trismus closed, eyes closed, quietly feel the secretion of saliva, when you feel more, you can swallow the saliva slowly in several times.
3. Moxibustion and kidney YuIf you want to nourish the kidney, the first choice acupuncture point is, of course, Kidney Yu, which is the "old nest" of kidney essence and vitality. It is the place where kidney qi gathers, just like the "mansion" of the kidney, so the ancients had the saying that "the waist is the house of the kidney", which shows the importance of the kidney acupoints. The Kidney Yu acupoint is opened 1.5 inches next to the spinal process of the second lumbar vertebra, one on the left and one on the left. Moxibustion has the effect of warming the meridians, replenishing yang and aphrodisiac, warming the meridians and dissipating cold, moxibustion kidney Yu has a very strong effect of tonifying the kidney and benefiting the kidney, as well as preventing and treating lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, and protecting the waist. 【Specific Method】Light moxa sticks and gently apply moxibustion, each time for about 15 minutes per acupoint. You can also use a wooden 2-hole moxibustion box, insert two moxa sticks, and place them on the left and right kidneys, which can be applied at the same time, and the effect of warming and replenishing is very good (those with yin deficiency and fire are cautious). Friends who don't have time for moxibustion can "rub their kidneys"~
Operation method: Rub your hands warmly, rub the kidney up and down, the number of times is not limited, and the local warmth is felt as the degree. Although the effect of rubbing the kidney is slower than that of moxibustion, if it can be insisted on every day, it also has a good effect.
