Two "Longevity Points" in the Human Body

Everyone has two "longevity points": one is the "Yongquan" point, and the other is the "Zusanli" point.
The Yongquan point is a crucial acupoint on the Kidney meridian. Regularly massaging this point enhances essence and marrow, strengthens the kidneys, promotes yang energy, and fortifies bones and muscles. The kidneys govern growth, development, and reproduction. Adequate kidney essence ensures normal development, sharp hearing and vision, clear mind, quick thinking, black hair, and strong sexual function. Conversely, if kidney deficiency leads to insufficient essence, memory declines, waist and knees ache, walking becomes difficult, sexual ability diminishes, and premature aging occurs. Yongquan lies on the sole of the foot, in the front third of the foot. When the toes are curled, the depression there is the point. Sit cross-legged before bedtime, use both hands to massage or press the bilateral Yongquan points until a sensation of soreness and fullness is felt. Perform 50 to 100 repetitions each time.
Zusanli is located 10 centimeters below the outer knee, just below the patella. Place your palm on your knee, fingers pointing down; the tip of your middle finger indicates the location. Zusanli is a key point on the Stomach meridian. The stomach acts as the body’s main "food warehouse." Only when food is promptly digested, broken down, and absorbed can other organs receive sufficient nourishment, ensuring good health and abundant energy. Thus, the stomach’s digestive efficiency is extremely important. Zusanli can fulfill this role. Massaging Zusanli with your knuckles not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, accelerates digestion and absorption of food, enhances immune function, supports healthy constitution, and repels pathogens, but also relieves fatigue, restores physical strength, and brings mental clarity and youthful vitality.
