Teach you the symptomatic massage method of foot acupoints

I believe that all of my friends should have had foot massage, because there are many acupoints on the soles of the feet and many organs of the body have corresponding acupoints on the soles of the feet. Therefore, regular foot massage can not only help you relieve fatigue, but also know which part of your body is not very good, which can help you improve the bad organs. However, foot massage must be targeted at the acupoints to be effective. If you press randomly, it will be ineffective. Therefore, here we will teach you the symptomatic massage method for the acupoints of the foot.

Foot acupoint massage is a method of treating systemic diseases by applying massage techniques to certain specific acupoints on the foot. This method is based on the theory of meridians. Through the close relationship between the foot and the meridians, internal organs, qi and blood, it stimulates the acupuncture points on the foot, stimulates the body's meridian qi, adjusts the connection between the internal organs and various tissues and organs, and achieves the purpose of strengthening the body and eliminating evil to treat diseases.

Since foot acupoint massage is performed by massaging acupoints on the feet, it reduces the steps of patients taking off and putting on clothes, etc. It is more time-saving, trouble-free, safe and easy to operate. It is not only effective for chronic gastroenteritis, mental illness, etc., but also has a good therapeutic effect on acute pain, exogenous infection, palpitations, dizziness and other diseases.

1. Positioning and main indications of foot acupoints: In order to accurately locate acupoints and improve therapeutic effects, it is necessary to master the positioning method.

(1) Bone measurement method.

① From the posterior edge of the heel to the base of the middle toe is 10 inches.

② The distance from the highest point of the medial and lateral malleolus to the sole of the foot is 3 inches.

③ The distance from the inner red and white flesh border of the first metatarsophalangeal joint to the outer red and white flesh border of the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint on the sole is 5 inches, and the same applies to the dorsum of the foot.

④The widest part of the heel is 3 inches.

(2) Natural landmark positioning method. This method is to determine the acupuncture points based on the natural markings of the human foot. Such as the transverse toe lines, toe tips, metatarsophalangeal joints, metatarsal heads, toe suture ends, medial malleolus highest point, lateral malleolus highest point, navicular tuberosity, etc.

2. Acupoint selection principles

(1) Select acupoints based on the symptoms of the disease. In clinical practice, acupoints can be selected based on the main symptoms of various diseases. Select acupoints that have therapeutic effects on the main symptoms. For example, headache points can be selected for headache, and sleeping points can be selected for insomnia. Acupoints with similar therapeutic effects can be used in combination. For example, sciatica can be treated by massaging the Sciatica 1 and 2 points at the same time. Acupoints with therapeutic effects and acupoints selected for symptoms can also be used in combination. For example, for insomnia accompanied by headaches, the sleep points can be used in combination with the headache points for treatment.

(2) Select acupoints based on the location of the disease. Choose the corresponding acupoints for massage according to the site of disease onset. For example, for stomachache, you can massage the stomach point, and for urinary retention, you can massage the bladder point and kidney point.

After learning the symptomatic foot acupoint massage, you can show your filial piety to your parents. However, although symptomatic foot acupoint massage has many benefits, because there are too many acupoints, foot massage is a taboo for pregnant women. Many women will feel that their legs are particularly sleepy in the later stages of pregnancy, and trying to improve this through foot massage is absolutely not advisable.
