Kidney Yang Deficiency can be treated with methods such as acupuncture and tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage).
Acupuncture
Body Acupuncture Points: Guanyuan (CV4), Ciliao (BL32), Fuliu (KD7), Mingmen (GV4). Use tonifying techniques, retain needles for 30 minutes, or apply warming acupuncture for 3-5 treatments.
Kidney Moxibustion: Qihai (CV6), Shenshu (BL23), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zusanli (ST36), apply moxa cones for 3-9 treatments, or use moxa sticks for gentle warming, 3-5 minutes per point.
Ear Acupuncture: Select ear points for Kidney, Bladder, Cortical, Endocrine, and External Genitalia. Use white mustard seed for pressure, secure with adhesive tape, and press 3-4 times daily.
Tuina
Kidney Bag Massage: Sit cross-legged, loosen clothing, and adjust breathing. Rub both palms together to warm them, then use the left hand to cup the kidney area (scrotum) with upward pressure, while the right hand rubs the Qihai (CV6) and Guanyuan (CV4) areas. Repeat 81 times, then switch hands and repeat.
Massage Shenshu: Before sleeping, sit on the bed, loosen clothing, let arms hang down, slightly close the mouth, tongue against the palate, gaze at the ceiling, contract the anus several times, then place both palms on the Shenshu (BL23) point with the middle finger aligned with Mingmen (GV4), and perform circular friction 120 times.
Massage Yongquan: Sit upright or cross-legged, warm both hands, hold one foot’s toes with one hand while massaging the Yongquan (KD1) point with the other hand, without counting, using heat as a guide. Switch hands and apply the same technique on the other side’s Yongquan point.
Qigong
Yang Nourishing Qigong: Sit cross-legged naturally, with lower legs crossed and feet turned outward, place a heating pad on the kidney area, rest thighs on lower legs, slightly lean forward, close eyes gently, let arms hang down, or place one hand over the other on the thighs, relax the whole body, focus on the Dantian, and breathe naturally, practicing for 30 minutes each time.
