Today I will show you two points that are great for the water element, which resonates with the season of winter. At this time, it is important to support the Kidneys and the Bladder.
The two points pictured are
Kidney 3 - located on the inside of the leg, directly behind the ankle bone.
On a horse or a dog (or a cat if one is willing!) kidney 3 is located at the inner hock joint, in the dip in front of the calcaneus bone (the one that creates the point of hock).
Kidney 3 is the source point of the Kidneys. It tonifies the Kidneys and is great for supporting the urinary tract, ankles, lower back and issues relating to fear, stress. It helps to ground the body.
Bladder 40 - is located in the centre of the knee crease at the back of the leg.
On a horse or dog, it is located on the back of the outside of the leg, at the level of the stifle. You will find a little divot here.
Bladder 40 is great for supporting bladder health. It is a point I commonly turn to in the case of lower back, leg and hip pain.
Kidney and Bladder points are excellent for revitalising and rejuvenating the body.
I hope these points help you. Let me know in the comments!
