In Chinese traditional medicine, there is a diagnosis called “kidney emptiness”. This means not just the organs of the kidneys in the modern sense, but the kidneys with the adrenal glands and the gonads. “Empty kidneys” can manifest itself in different ways: one person feels pain in the lower back and faces painful urination, another suffers from pain in the knees, the third begins to rapidly turn gray. All these symptoms of diseases are directly related to the "kidneys", that is, to the genitourinary system. Read the article on why kidney disease occurs and what TCM offers for kidney health.
3 main reasons why kidney function is weakened
Reason #1. Fears. Stressful situations provoke weakening of the function of the nervous system and adrenal glands. Both long-term experiences and short-term ones can lead to such a result.
Reason #2. Severe hypothermia, prolonged cold . The kidneys do not tolerate cold, because of it their activity becomes weakened, which manifests itself in the following symptoms:
- constantly cold feet;
- pain occurs in the joints;
- frequent urge to urinate at night;
- back pain;
- quick fatigue;
- burning sensation in the chest;
- feeling anxious;
- insomnia and headaches.
Reason #3. Promiscuous sex life. Since the sex glands are closely related to the kidneys, therefore, sexual excesses can cause:
- back pain,
- bone ache,
- impaired vision,
- occurrence of tinnitus,
- memory fading,
- degraded performance.
In Chinese folk medicine, there are a number of methods for preventing diseases of the elderly and pre-elderly, while they are simple and quite effective.
Kidney rub will help strengthen your lower back and improve your kidneys
The lower back takes part in all human activities, so it is very important to strengthen it and increase flexibility. For these purposes, you can use this technique.
Description of Kidney Health Exercises:
Clench the hands into fists, not too tight, but not too weak, so that the pads of the four fingers are in the center of the palm, and the thumb is on top of them. Hands with the backs of the hands should be placed opposite the kidneys;
after moving, towards the spine, move the kidneys together, then loosen and spread your arms. This exercise for the health of the kidneys should be repeated 81 times until you begin to feel a strong body at the ming-men point.
You should not just repeat such movements, but also imagine how your kidneys are going into one. If the exercises are not accompanied by appropriate “work of thought”, one can only expect the effect of a regular massage, but not an improvement in kidney health. At the same time, it is impossible to stop before 81 movements are completed, since only in the case of continuous rubbing, the “fire” at the ming-men point will begin to give strong heat, which is beneficial for the whole organism.
The number 81 was not chosen by chance. According to one legend, once going in search of the true canons, the monk went through 81 caves, and in each of them he met with an unclean spirit. In fact, these caves symbolize 81 acupuncture points.
Kidney health exercises can be performed anywhere and in any position, the main condition is the continuity of movements. For people who are unable to perform 81 movements, it is recommended to simply warm up the kidneys.
