Kidney 1 is located under the feet - and can be used to support the body in drawing excess energy from the top and ground it down into the kidneys.

“The ability of Yǒngquǎn KID-1 to restrain uprising of deficiency heat and Liver yang, and to pacify the spirit, renders it especially suitable to treat menopausal disorder characterised by hot flushes, night sweating, insomnia, agitation, anxiety and headache” - A Manual of Acupuncture

Bladder 40 activates the bladder channel and helps to alleviate pain along the channel - and especially when it comes to knee and lower back pain. BL 40 is equally effective for acute or chronic lumbar pain, and for sciatic pain radiating down the bladder channel.
