What are the acupuncture points on the waist?

There are many important acupuncture points on the waist, such as Mingmen and Shenshu.

1. Mingmen is

located on the posterior midline of the waist, at the depression below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. It plays an important role in regulating kidney yang and strengthening the waist and knees. Stimulating Mingmen can improve yang qi in the body and improve symptoms such as soreness of the waist and knees, fear of cold and so on.

2. Shenshu

is located 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. This acupuncture point is closely related to the health of the kidney. Stimulating Shenshu by massage and moxibustion can play the role of tonifying kidney qi, strengthening the waist and knees, benefiting the essence, and relieving low back pain, tinnitus and spermatorrhea caused by kidney deficiency.

Appropriate stimulation and conditioning of these waist acupuncture points can be achieved in various ways, but specific operation methods should be carried out by professionals.
