Spend an extra minute after getting up to nourish your kidneys

Many people still feel sleepy, dizzy, weak, and sometimes have tinnitus after waking up. In this case, tapping the back of your head may have unexpected effects.

Some important acupuncture points of the human body are distributed on the back of the head. Regular massage and tapping can relieve fatigue, prevent dizziness, promote hearing, and prevent tinnitus. There are three specific operation methods.

First, press the palms of your hands tightly on both sides of your ears, and use three fingers (index finger, middle finger, ring finger) to gently tap the back of your head. This method can stimulate the acupuncture points around the auricle, prevent dizziness, tinnitus, and improve hearing.

Second, use the tip of the thumb of one hand to press tightly against the nail tip or the back of the other finger. Slide the held finger out with force so that the back of the finger is exerted. This can effectively relieve fatigue.

Third, press the external auditory canals of both ears with the palms of both hands, and gently tap the occipital bone behind the head with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of both hands. Then cover the external auditory canals with the palms of your hands, press the occipital bone behind the head tightly with your fingers without moving, and then quickly lift them off. At this time, there will be a sound like a cannon in the ears. Repeat this 5-10 times, 2-3 times a day. The expert of massage and orthopedics of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences said: "Covering and tapping the ears during practice can stimulate the ears, and at the same time stimulate the brain nerves, which has the effect of improving hearing and vision." This action can be done after getting up, before going to bed, or in your spare time.

In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that the kidney opens to the ear. Therefore, this exercise can also achieve the effect of regulating the kidney essence and strengthening the kidney. The elderly may wish to do it more. After getting up, you may wish to spend an extra minute to press the back of your head to clear your brain and nourish the kidney and qi.
