Men use these 4 treasures to strengthen the kidneys and they are very effective.

Ancient Chinese health-preserving techniques mostly originated from Taoism. The four methods widely passed down among the people, namely, fist-holding, teeth-knocking, saliva swallowing, and heavenly drum ringing, are collectively known as the "Four Treasures of Taoist Health Preservation". Regular practice of these methods can strengthen the kidneys and prolong life.

Grip

It is a common hand gesture for Taoist health preservation. Ge Hong, a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, advocated "holding the fist and keeping oneness" in "Bao Pu Zi". The specific method is to clasp the thumb in the palm of the hand, with the fingertip at the root of the ring finger, then bend the other four fingers, apply a little force, and hold the thumb firmly, as if holding a treasure. The ancients believed that holding the fist can help calm the soul and mind, store essence, and disperse qi and blood, ward off evil and prevent disease.

Teeth knocking

It means to place the front teeth facing each other and tap them up and down rhythmically. Ancient health practitioners regarded tooth tapping as a magic way to prolong life, and tapped teeth 49 times every morning and evening. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that teeth are bones, and kidneys are responsible for bone and marrow production, so tooth tapping can stimulate and protect kidney qi, improve the body's immunity, and strengthen life functions.

Swallowing saliva

It means using the tongue to stir the mouth repeatedly until the mouth is full of saliva, then gargle it repeatedly in the mouth. When the saliva feels sweet, swallow it slowly. It can greatly replenish the kidney yin.

Ming Tian Drum

It can improve hearing and eyesight, and strengthen the kidneys. The specific method is: after rubbing the palms of your hands together to warm them up, press the external auditory canals of both ears tightly, place the index fingers of both hands on the middle fingers, and gently tap the occipital bone behind the head 60 times, making a sound like beating a drum. Covering the ears and tapping can stimulate the ears, achieve the effect of regulating the kidneys and protecting hearing, and have a certain preventive and restorative effect on kidney deficiency symptoms such as dizziness, forgetfulness, and tinnitus.
