With the improvement of people's living standards, various lifestyle-related diseases have emerged one after another. In order to control the condition, people have to rely on medication. However, restricting diet and medication may not be the best approach for better treatment. Here, we recommend an acupoint for assisting in the treatment of lifestyle diseases - the Ran Gu acupoint.

【Location of Ran Gu Acupoint】
The Gu acupoint is located on the medial edge of the foot, below the medial malleolus, in the flesh between the tendons. The Ran Gu acupoint has the effects of nourishing Yin and tonifying the kidneys, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, and it is mainly used to treat sore throat, coughing blood, polydipsia, irregular menstruation, impotence, priapism, itching in the genitals, spermatorrhea, and swelling and pain in the feet and ankles.
【Treating Diabetes】
Diabetes is referred to as "Xiao Ke" in Chinese medicine. Diabetes patients often feel dry mouth and inner restlessness when sleeping at night, and many people have to keep a glass of water beside them to quench their thirst. Now, all you need to do is stimulate the Ran Gu acupoint before going to sleep.
You might say, "I've been taking medication for so many years, and my diabetes still hasn't been cured. Can this one acupoint really cure me?"
Of course not, the cause of diabetes is complex, and so far, the medical community has not found a definitive treatment method. However, massaging acupoints can help alleviate symptoms.
If you combine massaging the Ran Gu acupoint with medication, the effect will definitely be better.

【Clearing Heat and Relieving Irritability】
In addition, the Ran Gu acupoint is the Ying point of the kidney meridian. Ying points belong to fire, while the kidney meridian belongs to water. Another important function of the Ran Gu acupoint is to balance water and fire.
If you always feel thirsty and easily get agitated, it means there is excessive heart fire. By massaging the Ran Gu acupoint, you can use the kidney water to lower the heart fire. If you feel restless and unable to sleep at night, accompanied by dry mouth, the Ran Gu acupoint is also a "master" in solving these problems.
If you massage the Ran Gu acupoint before sleeping, you will soon feel more saliva in your mouth, not as thirsty or agitated, and naturally you will be able to sleep soundly.
【Tonifying Kidneys and Nourishing Essence】
The Ran Gu acupoint, also known as the "Dragon Spring" acupoint, as the name suggests, stimulates this acupoint regularly, and kidney qi and essence will emerge like a spring.
It is a commonly used acupoint for health preservation and kidney nourishment in clinical acupuncture. It has significant effects on spermatorrhea, night sweats, irregular menstruation, leg fatigue, sore throat accompanied by coughing blood, and more.
Especially for male friends, we can completely protect the health of the kidneys by massaging the Ran Gu acupoint, and it can also achieve a balancing effect. It is something we shouldn't miss.

【Treating Anorexia】
In fact, besides diabetes patients, young mothers should also know about this acupoint. Because this acupoint has another important function, which is to treat pediatric anorexia.
From the name of the acupoint, "Ran" means burning, and "Gu" means grains. From the name alone, we know that this acupoint has the function of promoting digestion.
After stimulating this acupoint, a large amount of saliva will be secreted in the mouth. After saliva is produced in the mouth, hunger will be felt more easily, and the desire to eat will arise.
It can stimulate the feeling of hunger in the body, enhance spleen and stomach function, and make food digest better.
If you eat too much and feel bloated, massaging this acupoint is also effective. Of course, for babies, because their skin is delicate, the stimulation should be moderate to avoid causing crying.
