What are the benefits and functions of the Yaoyan (Lumbar Eye) acupuncture point?

The main effects and functions of Yaoyan acupoint are to nourish the kidneys and eliminate internal injuries, and treatment on this acupoint should be conducted under the guidance of a physician. As a relatively common acupoint, Yaoyan belongs to the extra-meridian points and is located in the lumbar region. It can effectively treat lumbar pain, irregular menstruation, leucorrhea, asthenia, and other conditions. This acupoint is commonly used for health preservation, and based on the advice of a physician, local massage, acupuncture, moxibustion, and other methods can be adopted to improve one's condition. It achieves the effects of dredging meridians and promoting local blood circulation, usually without causing significant impact on physical health. However, when patients experience conditions such as acute lumbar sprain and lumbar disc herniation, treatment on this acupoint can be conducted to facilitate recovery. Yaoyan acupoint can generally be combined with Shenshu acupoint, Weizhong acupoint, and other acupoints to effectively treat various bodily conditions. In daily life, attention should be paid to keeping this acupoint warm, avoiding exposure to cold, and refraining from staying in cold and damp environments for extended periods. Meanwhile, attention should also be paid to maintaining a light diet, with a focus on consuming easily digestible liquid foods such as millet porridge and oatmeal to supplement the body with nutrients, which generally will not have a significant impact on lumbar tissues. Engaging in exercise according to one's own condition can help strengthen the body.
