It's really amazing to treat upper diseases and lower diseases. Try it now.

"Treat the upper part of the body, and treat all diseases by treating the feet." This is an old saying in traditional Chinese medicine; the feet are the second heart of the human body.

Although the foot is located at the lowest point of the human body, it is the foundation of the human body. If a person's steps are light, it means that he is in good spirits. If his steps are heavy, it means that he is physically tired.

Some minor ailments in life can indeed be regulated from the feet. The foot reflexology zone is the theoretical basis of "treating upper diseases from the lower body and all diseases from the feet."

Here, we have sorted out the specific problems and corresponding locations, covering everyone's basic needs: cough, dry eyes, blood pressure reduction, spleen and stomach problems, just follow it!

Dry eyes

Rub your big toe

“The liver governs the eyes, and the liver opens up to the eyes.” In simple terms, if the liver is not healthy, the eyes will not receive nourishment, so if there is a problem with the eyes, treatment should be conducted through the liver meridian.

▲Rubbing your toes can relieve dry eyes

The liver meridian starts at the big toe. Therefore, if we feel dry eyes, we should stimulate the big toe to strengthen the qi and blood of the liver meridian.

In the long run, this method is more effective than eye drops in treating the problem from the root. It can activate liver blood, make the eyes naturally moist, and relieve discomfort.

Cough

Press the instep

This trick comes from pediatric massage. Many children’s common colds can be treated through professional massage. We can also learn from this technique as an auxiliary treatment for our own cough.

For example, you can hold the little feet and rub them, especially the instep. This is very beneficial for those who have wind-heat cough and tonsillitis.

▲Rub the instep

Whenever your tonsils are inflamed, pressing this area will be very painful, so it is easy to find. Massage both the left and right big toes, and massage each toe for 5 minutes.

Then, drink a large glass of salt water and rest. You can also massage this if you have throat discomfort.

Old man turns his ankle

Helps lower blood pressure

People with high blood pressure usually have symptoms of stiff ankles. Rotating the ankles can promote blood circulation.

▲Rotate your ankles, both morning and night

Especially for the elderly, frequently rotating the ankles can help resist aging and lower blood pressure. Do it once in the morning and once in the evening, generally turning 100 times to the left and right each time. Warm feet are good for your health.

indigestion

Toe flexion

Patients with indigestion, bad breath, constipation, diarrhea, and stomach pain should frequently bend their toes.

From the perspective of the foot reflexology zone: there is a Neiting point between the second and third toes. Regular massage can achieve the purpose of strengthening the stomach.

▲ Neiting acupoint (different effects when pressing along or against the direction)

Smooth discharge and reverse supplementation.

Massage this point along the direction of the toes. If you have bad breath, indigestion, or constipation, you can massage along the direction of the cuticle to relieve stomach fire.

Patients with weak spleen and stomach (cannot eat raw or cold food, stomach pain, diarrhea) can massage this area in the opposite direction of the toes to replenish stomach qi.

Varicose veins

Tiptoe walking

Studies have shown that standing on tiptoes can cause the back of the calf to contract, and the compression caused by muscle contraction can promote blood circulation.

Varicose veins

Do it 2 to 3 times a day, 5 to 10 minutes each time. Long-term practice of this exercise can effectively relieve varicose veins, and is especially useful for this condition caused by sitting or standing for long periods of time.

Drooling while sleeping

Massage the big toe

The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming water and dampness. Drooling while sleeping and having teeth marks on the lips are symptoms of spleen deficiency, which is often referred to as water and dampness. How to deal with it?

▲Strengthen the spleen

We should start with the spleen meridian. The Taibai point on the foot is where the spleen meridian flows. When the spleen meridian is sufficient in qi, its function of transporting and transforming water and moisture will become stronger, and over time the symptoms of drooling while sleeping can be eliminated.
