KD-1 (emotional grounding, headache)

Yong Quan (Gushing Spring) KD-1 is located on the sole, about an inch below the “butt cheeks” formed by the ball of the foot. It descends energy, so it’s great for treating some types of headaches, gastroparesis, and acid reflux. It also grounds the patient emotionally and supports the Kidney (Remember, the Chinese energetic organ called the Kidney is not the same as your anatomical kidneys). The Kidney stores your Essence and is associated with the emotion of Fear, so this is a doubly good point to use for anxiety, PTSD, or other issues with being afraid. Of course it’s also useful for plantar fasciitis and other foot problems. Press firmly for 20-30 seconds, with a loving, healing intention.
