Traditional Chinese medicine foot health care can achieve the purpose of curing diseases and strengthening the body. Because there is a direct connection between specific parts of the foot and various organs in the body, there are reflex zones for various organs on the soles of the feet. When certain organs become lesions, they can be reflected in their reflex zones. Massaging and stimulating the corresponding reflex zones can promote local blood circulation. So, how does Chinese medicine promote overall health through foot care? 1. Tap the soles of your feet: Tap the soles of your feet with your fists before going to bed every night to eliminate a day's fatigue. Tapping gives the soles of your feet proper stimulation to promote blood circulation throughout the body, enhance the function of internal organs, and restore energy as soon as possible. The correct way to tap is centered on the soles of the feet, radiating rhythmically to the surrounding areas, and stop when you feel a slight pain. You can also sit cross-legged on the bed or chair, and put your foot on the knee of the other leg, which is easier to tap. Tap each foot about 100 times, and don't use excessive force. It seems to be a recognized fact that the skin on the soles of the feet is rough and thick. We step on it at the bottom of the body every day, and everyone seems to ignore its existence. But what would happen to you if you didn't have feet? If you have feet, why don't you make full use of their functions? Today, I will show you how to promote the health of your whole body by maintaining the health of the soles of your feet. 2. Shake your feet: Poor blood circulation throughout the body will cause visceral disorders and sub-health symptoms such as headaches and loss of appetite. Simple foot stimulation can promote blood circulation. Lie on your back on the bed, shake your feet in the air first, and then rotate your feet like riding a bicycle. Just continue for 5 to 6 minutes, and the blood circulation throughout the body will improve. This method can also stretch the muscles on the inside of the calves and knees, completely eliminating leg fatigue. People who are afraid of cold in winter, if you practice this method before going to bed, you will feel warm all over your body, which will help improve sleep. 3. Walking barefoot: The biggest advantage of this method is that it gives the soles of the feet a chance to exercise. The soles of the feet are an important part of maintaining human balance. Generally, healthy people have strong soles of the feet. When walking, try to stimulate the soles of the feet as much as possible. You can also try walking on cobblestone roads so that the five toes are not stuck together. Being able to separate and move freely is a major advantage of walking barefoot. Especially leaving a gap between the big toe and the second toe can make walking easier. In order to improve your health, you should free your feet from shoes and socks as much as possible at home and walk barefoot. Sunbathing the soles of feet: Sunbathing is a natural therapy to improve physical health. Exposing the soles of the feet, known as the second heart, to sunbathing can achieve unexpected health benefits. The ultraviolet rays in the sun stimulate the soles of the feet, which can promote the body's metabolism, enhance the functions of internal organs, and make the body stronger. People who practice sunbathing on the soles of their feet are less likely to suffer from heatstroke in the summer and catch a cold all year round. When the weather is fine, you can let the sun shine directly on the soles of your feet for 20 to 30 minutes outdoors every day. Do not sunbathe through glass, as most of the ultraviolet rays will be absorbed by the glass. 5. Friction of the soles of the feet: Many patients complain to their doctors that they often cannot sleep in bed, tossing and turning, and staying awake until dawn because they are worried or irritable. In fact, because the soles of the feet are farthest from the heart, when the peripheral blood circulation is poor, the feet are afraid of cold and are prone to insomnia. When you have insomnia, you can put your feet together and rub them against each other to promote blood circulation. When your feet feel warm, you can fall asleep soundly in a short time. The method is to lie on your back in bed, lift your feet, and then rub them against each other vigorously. If you rub your hands at the same time, the effect will be better. Just rub your feet vigorously 20 times, your feet will feel warm, and sleepiness will come. 6. Rub your toes: Rubbing your toes can enhance memory. You can grab the big toes of both feet and rub them in circular motions several times a day for 2 to 3 minutes each time. You can also rub the outside of your little toes in circular motions. Just rub them for 5 minutes during class breaks or before going to bed. Since calculation ability is related to the cerebellum, and the little toe is the reflex area of the cerebellum, rubbing the little toe can also help enhance calculation ability. 7. Press the heels: People who work at a desk or sit in an office for a long time are prone to hunchback. The easiest way to correct this posture is to stimulate the heels. The reason why the back is bent is that the muscles on both sides of the spine that support the weight of the internal organs have become weak. Only by stimulating the muscles on both sides of the spine can the back be straightened. The muscles on both sides of the spine are connected to the heels through the bladder meridian. Stimulating the heels can correct the hunchback posture. The method is to press the heels forcefully with your fingers until you feel pain. 8. Standing on one leg: Standing on one leg can exercise the soles of your feet. The method is very simple, which is to adopt the posture of "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg". Standing on tiptoes may be very unfamiliar at first, and may even feel very painful. You can first let your heels leave the ground a little, and then stand on the tiptoes of both feet after you are used to it, and finally transition to standing on the tiptoes of one foot. When standing on one leg, you can first stand on the tiptoes of your right foot for 1 to 2 minutes, and then stand on the tiptoes of your left foot for 1 to 2 minutes, and repeat these steps. It is best to stand on the wall or hold the railing with both hands when standing on tiptoe. Remember to pay attention to safety. 9. Climbing the stairs on tiptoe: In daily life, climbing the stairs on tiptoe is a good opportunity to exercise the whole body. Climbing the stairs on tiptoe is beneficial to regulate blood pressure and make people energetic. Compared with walking on flat ground, climbing stairs requires more exercise, can exercise the respiratory and circulatory systems, strengthen the waist and leg muscles, and improve all the functions of the whole body. Since you climb the stairs on tiptoe as much as possible during the whole process, the front half of the foot can be exercised, and the related internal organs and brain functions are also improved to a certain extent. When climbing the stairs on tiptoe, you must concentrate your mind and be careful not to fall due to unstable steps. Ten steps on a tennis ball: Sit on a chair and spin the tennis ball with your feet. When your feet feel tired, use the tennis ball to stimulate the soles of your feet to relieve the pain. When you start spinning the tennis ball, the soles of your feet will feel quite painful. If you persist for a period of time, the pain will gradually turn into comfort, and the fatigue of your feet will be eliminated without you noticing. This method is also helpful in eliminating constipation. 11. Brush the soles of your feet: How to make your skin fair and tender is what women care about most. In fact, as long as you stimulate the soles of your feet, you can make your skin healthy. The specific method is to rub the soles of your feet with a brush when taking a bath. The stimulation of the brush can promote the secretion of related hormones in the body. Over time, the skin can be made fair and tender. To implement this health-preserving method, you can choose a brush made of natural fibers, because brushes made of natural fibers are softer and will not damage the soles of your feet. |
