Kidney deficiency and water flooding generally refers to kidney yang deficiency that cannot warm water and liquids, and water-dampness flooding is manifested in the symptoms. The symptoms include generalized edema, especially below the waist, abdominal distension, shortness of breath, coughing and phlegm, and a pale, fat, tender tongue with teeth marks. As the treatment mainly focuses on warming kidney yang and inducing diuresis, acupoints such as foot-sanli, kidney yu, life gate, qihai, tianshu, yinlingquan and zhongkou can be used.
Kidney Yu has the effect of warming kidney yang, inducing diuresis and dispelling dampness; Qi Men point has the effect of consolidating the root of the body and cultivating the vital energy; Qi Hai point has the effect of tonifying the kidney qi and strengthening the spleen qi. The foot Sanli is a commonly used health point for strengthening the spleen and drying dampness; the Tianshu point has the effect of inducing dampness, regulating qi and relieving pain; the Yinlingquan point has the effect of strengthening the spleen and inducing dampness; and the zhongcu point has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, lowering the rebelliousness and inducing diuresis.
All of the above points can be used to treat diseases caused by kidney deficiency and water flooding, but it should be noted that the acupuncture operation should be carried out by a professional. If the symptoms are serious, you should go to the hospital in time.
