Yongquan point is the first acupuncture point on the kidney meridian. When looking for it, cover the ball of your toes and divide the rest of the sole of your foot into three parts. The Yongquan point is located in the upper 1/3 where there is a depression.

Yongquan acupoint is a well point, that is, the source. To guide qi and blood to the feet is actually to guide them to the Yongquan acupoint, which is called guiding the blood back to its source. What are the benefits of guiding blood back to its source? It makes people less likely to age, which is the biggest benefit.

The main goal of practicing methods such as Golden Rooster Stand and Dropping Foot Exercise is to direct Qi and blood to the Yongquan acupoint. But sometimes when you do it, you may find that the qi and blood can never be concentrated where you want them to go, so you need additional stimulation.

When stimulating the Yongquan point, first trim the nail of your thumb flat, and then press hard. If it is very painful, this acupoint is suitable for daily massage. You must persist, because nourishing the kidneys is a task that takes a lifetime to complete, and if your kidney qi is strong, you will not age. However, some people do not feel anything after pressing hard, and the acupoint is even pressed with a dent. This is a typical case of weak kidney qi and insufficient qi and blood. Even if such people massage every day and increase the intensity, it will be a waste of energy for the body. So at this time, you should first do the kneeling knee method and the Golden Rooster Stand to draw the qi and blood down, and then stimulate the Yongquan acupoint.

Some people say: "When I press the Yongquan point, it sinks and it hurts. Can I continue to press it in this case?" Yes! As long as it hurts, you can massage it every day. This shows that Qi and blood can impact the Yongquan point.

Massage for 3 minutes every day for 1 month, and you will find that the soles of your feet have become elastic. They will not sink when you press them, and your kidney qi will return to its source. In fact, massaging the Yongquan acupoint opens up the kidney meridian. This is a very labor-saving and quick method.

Once the Yongquan acupoint is massaged unblocked, you will feel deeply grateful for this acupoint. It turns out that the meridian acupoints are so magical that they can generate a continuous and surging power.

Some people are not cold enough, but the soles of their feet are always hot. Such people need to massage the Yongquan acupoint the most. Because their constitution is that the liver fire is too strong, but it is suppressed, the fire is not released, and the kidney yin is insufficient, so the soles of their feet will become hot. At this time, you need to ask your kidneys for some water to extinguish the fire in your body.

Yongquan acupoint is the well point of the kidney meridian. Well points belong to the wood element and are connected to the liver. Water produces wood, so energy can be drawn from here to nourish the liver. When the soles of your feet become hot, it means that your liver is asking the kidneys for help, asking the kidney meridian for a little kidney yin (water) to reduce the liver's heat. At this time, you must rub the Yongquan point. After a few days, the problem of hot soles of the feet will be relieved.
