6 Tips for Massaging to Strengthen the Kidneys

There is an old saying that "when the kidney qi is weak, the essence and energy are deficient, and the essence of life is exhausted." It also emphasizes that "excessive kidney qi and strong qi and blood circulation" are the primary conditions for longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is responsible for storing essence and the ear is the opening point. There are many acupuncture points for treating kidney diseases in the ear. Therefore, regular ear massage can play a role in strengthening the kidney and nourishing the body.

Specific methods of ear massage:

1. Pull the tragus:

Place your index fingers on the inner side of the tragus, and use your index fingers and thumbs to pull the tragus from the inside to the outside, from light to heavy, and pull as hard as you can without feeling any pain, for 3 to 5 minutes each time. This method can also cure headaches, dizziness, neurasthenia, tinnitus and other diseases.

2. Clean the outer ear:

Use both hands to sweep your ears from back to front, you will hear a "squeaking" sound. Do this 20 times each time, several times a day. As long as you persist for a long time, you will be able to strengthen your kidneys and keep fit.

3. Pull out both ears:

Stretch out your index fingers and insert them into the two ear holes respectively, and rotate them 180 degrees. After three reciprocating movements, pull them out immediately, and you will hear a "bang bang" sound in your ears. Generally, pull them out 3 to 6 times. This method can improve hearing sensitivity and has the effect of strengthening the brain.

4. Mingtian Drum:

Place both palms tightly against the ears, hold the ear lids tightly with the palms, and secure them with the thumb and little finger. Use the remaining three fingers together or alternately to tap the occipital area behind the head, namely the Naohou, Fengfu, and Dumen acupoints. You will hear a "dong dong" sound in the ears, like the sound of beating a drum.

This method has the effect of refreshing the mind, calming the nerves and improving hearing. It can not only be used as a daily health care method, but also has a good therapeutic effect on common symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, insomnia, headache, neurasthenia, etc. among middle-aged and elderly people.

5. Ear wheel:

This method can strengthen the brain, kidney, hearing and eyesight, and can prevent and treat diseases such as impotence, frequent urination, constipation, back and leg pain, cervical spondylosis, palpitation, chest tightness, headache, dizziness, etc.

6. Moquaner:
