With the improvement of people's living standards, various lifestyle diseases have emerged. In order to control these conditions, people have resorted to taking lots of medication. However, restricting diet and relying solely on medication may not always be the best approach for achieving better treatment results. Here, we recommend an acupoint called "Rangu" as an adjunct treatment for lifestyle diseases.

【Location of Rangu Acupoint】
The Rangu acupoint is located on the inner edge of the foot, below the medial malleolus, at the junction of the red and white skin. The Rangu acupoint has the effects of nourishing yin, tonifying the kidney, clearing heat, and eliminating dampness. It is mainly used to treat sore throat, coughing up blood, polydipsia, irregular menstruation, impotence, priapism, genital itching, nocturnal emission, and foot swelling and pain.
【Treatment for Diabetes】
In Chinese medicine, diabetes is referred to as "Xiaoke" or "Polyuria and Polydipsia syndrome". Diabetes patients often experience dry mouth and restlessness when sleeping at night, and many have to keep a glass of water nearby to quench their thirst. Now, stimulating the Rangu acupoint before sleep can help alleviate these symptoms.
You might say, "I have been taking medication for so many years, and my diabetes still cannot be cured. Can this acupoint really heal me?"
Of course, it's not that simple. The cause of diabetes is complex, and so far, there is no complete cure in the field of medicine. However, massaging acupoints can help alleviate symptoms.
If you combine massaging the Rangu acupoint with taking medication, the effects will definitely be better.

【Relieving Fire and Irritability】
In addition, the Rangu acupoint is the confluence point of the kidney meridian. The confluence point belongs to the fire element, while the kidney meridian belongs to the water element. Another important function of the Rangu acupoint is to balance water and fire in the body.
If you constantly feel thirsty or easily become anxious, it indicates that your heart fire is stronger. By massaging the Rangu acupoint, you can calm down the heart fire with the help of the kidney water. If you feel restless and unable to sleep at night, accompanied by dry mouth, the Rangu acupoint is also a "master" in solving these problems.
If you massage the Rangu acupoint before sleep, you will soon feel a lot of saliva in your mouth, reducing your desire to drink water and alleviating restlessness. This will naturally lead to a more peaceful sleep.
【Tonifying Kidney and Nourishing Essence】
The Rangu acupoint, also known as "Longquan" acupoint, can be stimulated to replenish kidney qi and essence, just like a spring gushing out. It is a commonly used acupoint for health preservation and kidney nourishment in clinical acupuncture. It has significant effects on nocturnal emission, night sweats, irregular menstruation, leg weakness, sore throat accompanied by coughing up blood, and more.
Especially for male friends, we can protect the health of our kidneys and achieve a balance through massaging the Rangu acupoint. It is an opportunity we should not miss.

【Treatment for Anorexia】
In fact, in addition to diabetes patients, young mothers should also be familiar with this acupoint. This is because the Rangu acupoint has an important function in treating childhood anorexia.
From the name of the acupoint, "Ran" means burning, and "Gu" means grains. From the name itself, we can infer that this acupoint has the function of promoting digestion.
Stimulating this acupoint will cause a large amount of saliva secretion in the mouth. After saliva is produced, hunger is more easily felt, leading to a desire to eat.
It can create a sense of hunger and enhance spleen and stomach function, thereby improving food digestion.
If you have eaten too much and feel bloated, massaging this acupoint can also be effective. Of course, for babies, because their skin is delicate, the stimulation should be gentle to avoid causing them to cry and become restless.
