Toxic signs of the kidneys
1. Decreased menstrual flow or shorter period with darker color. The production and disappearance of menstruation are indicators of the vitality of the kidneys. If there are many toxins in the kidneys, the amount of menstrual blood will decrease.
2. Edema. The kidneys regulate the circulation of fluids in the body. When toxins accumulate in the kidneys, their ability to remove excess fluids decreases, resulting in edema.
3. Acne on the jawline. The jawline is governed by the kidneys. Insufficient detoxification by the kidneys will manifest as excess toxins on the jawline.
4. Easy fatigue. Toxins in the body deplete the energy of the kidneys, resulting in fatigue, drowsiness, and weakness in the limbs.

Regularly massaging this acupoint can have a significant detoxification effect. The Yongquan acupoint is located on the front 1/3 of the sole of the foot (excluding the toes). This acupoint is relatively sensitive, so do not apply too much pressure. A slight sensation is sufficient, and it is best to massage while applying pressure, for about 5 minutes.
