The past few days I've felt a lot of pain in my kidneys. I've been urinating a ton and have just felt completely drained of energy. I've had kidney stones in the past, as a teen I had no supervision or guidance and just abused by body with soda, energy drinks, and drugs. Any caffeine I consume nowadays makes my kidneys feel hot and sharp along with my urinary tract.
I feel I've done a lot of damage to my kidneys. What can I do to help my body and alleviate the pain and energy loss?
There is a quick little stretching exercise you can do to lightly massage your kidneys. I doubt it would have enough effect to completely fix your situation, but if you do it daily alongside a healthier lifestyle it may help heal your kidneys faster over time.
From what I remember it went smth like this:
-Form your hands into fists
-Place them horizontally on your back around the area where your kidneys are (it's approx. the same height as your sacral chakra. You should feel a bit of a "hollow" space there below the end of your ribcage.)
-Apply
light pressure
-Slowly bend backwards while applying light pressure to the area with your fists, hold this for a couple seconds while breathing deeply
-Slowly return to upright position again
-Slowly bend forwards, hold again and breathe deeply
-Return to upright position again slowly like before
Repeat this a couple times.
I think this is approximately how it went.
You can also try putting your hands there vertically if it feels better. Try using your knuckles to apply light pressure. Alternatively you could even use your thumbs for this, though for me this had a lowered effect. Just go with what feels best.
Hope this helps you.
