Massaging or pressing these acupoints can relieve almost all systemic diseases.

Massage the little finger to strengthen the kidneys and prevent gray hair
Developing the habit of massaging the little finger is equivalent to strengthening kidney function, and when kidney function is enhanced, white hair will naturally become black and shiny! The massage method is as follows: lightly press the kidney acupoint located on the first joint of the little finger on the palm side and the life gate on the second joint. Gently press once, relax the hand, and then press again. Repeat this process about 50 times every day. However, it is important to note that excessive force and prolonged pressure should be avoided. The correct massage technique is to press and relax.
