1. Massage the guan yuan point and qi hai point to strengthen yang: Our body has a very important substance and driving force that maintains human life activities, called yuan qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yuan qi is inherited from birth, hidden in the kidneys, and relies on postnatal essence to nourish. Its main function is to promote the growth and development of the human body, warm and stimulate the physiological functions of organs such as organs, meridians, etc.

Yuan qi is innate and continuously obtained from parents, relying on postnatal nourishment. With the passage of time, it gradually decreases, and a person will show signs of aging. How can we better protect yuan qi? Stimulating the guan yuan point is a good way.

The guan yuan point is like a valve in the human body, keeping yuan qi inside the body and preventing it from leaking out. It is the place where men store essence and women store blood, the intersection of yin and yang in the human body, and also the barrier of yuan qi. Stimulating the guan yuan point can activate kidney qi and replenish kidney qi. Let's say yuan qi is like an inheritance left by our parents. The amount of inheritance is fixed. We use a certain amount of it every day, and over time, this inheritance will be depleted.

How can we prevent this inheritance from depleting too quickly? One important method is to work hard and save money for ourselves. The function of stimulating the guan yuan point is equivalent to saving money for ourselves. The more money we save, the less we need to use the inheritance left by our parents.

Conditions treated by the guan yuan point: It is mainly used to treat conditions caused by deficiency of yuan qi, such as stroke, physical weakness, easy fatigue, and cold intolerance; male diseases such as nocturnal emission, impotence, premature ejaculation, and low sexual function; female diseases such as irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, leukorrhea, uterine prolapse, functional uterine bleeding, external genital itching, and various gynecological inflammations; lower abdomen diseases such as dysentery, prolapse of rectum, hernia, bloody stool, bloody urine, difficulty in urinating, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, etc.

Is massaging the testicles able to enlarge them?

The size of the testicles varies from person to person, with some people having larger testicles and others having smaller ones. People with larger testicles may have stronger sexual abilities because larger testicles can secrete more hormones, enhancing male libido. So, does massaging the testicles enlarge them? Experts explain that the size of the testicles is basically determined after adulthood and cannot be enlarged. If the testicles are massaged frequently during childhood, it can accelerate blood circulation in the testicular area and be helpful for testicle enlargement. However, if the technique is improper, it may damage the testicles.
