What Is the Most Important Spot on Your Feet?

Last night, I spent just 2 minutes massaging Yongquan acupoint on both feet, after that, I slept almost nine hours, I was in a rush to get up this morning because I was behind my schedule. This is how powerful this spot is. Yongquan acupoint (KD -1) is one of the most useful points located on the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian of the foot. It is the lowest and most yin part of the body that is in constant contact with the yin energy of Mother Earth. Where is it located? It is on the sole, in depression with a foot in plantar flexion, at the junction of the anterior 1/3 and posterior 2/3 of the line connecting the base of the 2nd and 3rd toes with the heel.

When a person lacks stamina or strength, Yongquan acupoint can help him/her draw the vital force from Mother earth to regain strength.

One of the most important relationships in the body is between the kidneys and heart meridians. The Yin energy in the kidney meridian nourishes and calms the fire energy in the heart meridian, while the heat in the heart meridian warms the water nature of the kidney meridian. Harmony between these two meridians can help achieve a peaceful mind and spirit. Therefore imbalance between the kidney and heart meridians can cause a wide range of emotional stress including anxiety, agitation, and restlessness. 

Since the kidney meridian governs our longevity. As the source point in the kidney meridian, Yongquan acupoint can help calm the mind and spirit, it also helps relieve menopause symptoms, including hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, and headaches. Yongquan acupoint also relieves aging-related issues such as memory loss, ear ringing, and nocturia.

Here are some amazing health benefits of massaging Yongquan acupoint regularly, especially in the evening between 7 pm to 9 pm when the energy in your body is peaking in the kidney meridian.

• ·       Detoxify the body.
• ·       Improve sleep quality and treat insomnia.
• ·       Boost your energy and reduce fatigue.
• ·       Relieve headache and dizziness.
• ·       Reduce high blood pressure.
• ·       Relieve sore throat, dry cough, and strained voice.

There is a simple technique from the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine to treat canker sores, nose bleeding, toothache, and dry coughs.

Take 2 fresh garlic cloves, remove the peels and chop into a fine texture, take half of the chopped garlic and place it on a small piece of cotton cloth, then attach the garlic on Younquan acupoint on one foot and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent leaking, in order to prevent garlic from falling out, you have to use a few pieces of medical paper tape to stabilize it. Place another half of the chopped garlic on another foot with the same method, leave it for 20 minutes, then remove the garlic and wash your feet with warm water. You may experience blisters at Yongquan acupoint after this treatment, it will fade away in a few days, but this is a very effective approach with no drugs involved, it is worth the effort to give it a try. You can do it once a day for a few days to fully recover from the health challenges I mentioned above. If you experience blisters, it is a good idea to take a break until your blisters are healed.
