Press Tai Xi (KD3) for Kidney vitality

Tai Xi belongs to the Kidney channel, where Kidney vitality qi gathers. Gentle self-press supports Kidney deficiency habits, from cold-womb patterns to menopause heat or low-back cold.

In brief

Tai Xi (KD3) sits in the hollow between the inner ankle bone and the Achilles tendon. Circling pressure for one to two minutes, up to three times a day, is a common educational habit for Kidney vitality, not a cure for fertility delay or menopause.

  1. Find the hollow

    Sit with the ankle relaxed. Slide a thumb into the space between the inner ankle bone and the Achilles tendon until you feel a tender hollow.

  2. Circle and breathe

    Press in small circles for one to two minutes while breathing slowly. Switch ankles if you like.

  3. Stop cues

    Ease off if pressure feels sharp or numb. Mild ache that eases on release is common.
