Where should I apply moxibustion for kidney yang deficiency? These three acupoints are indispensable

In today's society, many people may suffer from kidney deficiency for unknown reasons. Perhaps this has a lot to do with people's daily living habits and diet, but the most important point is that people have neglected the protection of the kidneys. Take kidney yang deficiency as an example, its harmfulness is self-evident. So, when using moxibustion to treat kidney yang deficiency, which acupoints should be moxibustioned?

Guanyuan Point

Located 3 inches below the umbilicus, it is the meeting point of the three yin meridians and the Ren meridian, and the gathering point of the small intestine. It has the functions of nourishing the body and strengthening the body, and replenishing the lower part of the body. Modern research has confirmed that after massaging or vibrating the Guanyuan point, it can achieve the purpose of treating urinary and reproductive system diseases by regulating endocrine.

Qihai Point

Located 1.5 inches below the umbilicus, it belongs to the Ren Meridian. It can treat all symptoms of qi deficiency, such as asthenia, emaciation, fatigue, etc.

Shenque Point

Located in the middle of the umbilical fossa, also known as the umbilical middle, it belongs to the Ren Meridian. Regular moxibustion of these three acupoints can not only effectively prevent and treat nocturnal urination in middle-aged and elderly people, but also has unique therapeutic effects on abdominal pain, bowel sounds, edema, diarrhea, rectal prolapse, stroke, etc. At the same time, it can make people full of energy, have a rosy complexion, sharp ears and eyes, and prolong their life.

Correct treatment method of moxibustion:

The patient takes a comfortable position, lying on the treatment bed, fully exposing the acupoints. The operator holds the moxa stick at a 45° angle to the local skin with his right hand like holding a pen to write, and points the ignited end of the moxa stick at the acupoint. The distance between the ignited end and the skin is about one inch, and the local area is warm and red but does not burn the skin. Apply warm moxibustion in the order of Guanyuan, Qihai, and Shenque, from bottom to top, for 15 minutes for each acupoint. Once a day, 15 times as a course of treatment. Note that after the moxibustion of Shenque acupoint is finished, it is necessary to press and cover it with the palm of your hand for more than 10 minutes to prevent cold.
