Foot health care

According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding acupoints on the feet, and the soles of the feet are the confluence of meridians, and many acupoints are gathered between the instep, soles and toes. Some scientists also believe that the foot is the second heart of the human body, and there are countless nerve endings connected with the brain on the soles of the feet, which is the "health care special zone" of the human body. Giving full play to the health care potential of this "special zone" is conducive to preventing some diseases. Soaking feet is similar to washing feet at ordinary times, but not the same. Not too much water at first, just soak your toes, the water temperature is 40~50℃. After soaking for a period of time, gradually add water above the ankle joint, and keep the water temperature at about 60℃. At the same time, the feet constantly move or rub against each other to promote water flow. It lasts for 20~30 minutes each time until it feels slightly hot. If you soak your feet with hot and cold water alternately, you can also get the effect of treating headache, insomnia, angina pectoris, rhinitis, bronchitis and sprained foot. Take off your shoes and socks in the morning or at night and put your feet in the sun for 20~30 minutes. Experts call it foot sunbathing. The beauty of this method lies in letting the ultraviolet rays in the sun shine directly on the soles of the feet, promoting the metabolism of the whole body, accelerating blood circulation, enhancing the vitality of internal organs and giving full play to their functions. This method has good curative effect on rhinitis, anemia and other diseases. Facial dermatoses, such as acne and eczema, are mostly related to the imbalance of human internal environment and system dysfunction. The research shows that the whole foot massage beauty method with foot reflection can balance the internal environment of the machine through the adjustment of nerves and body fluids and the automatic adjustment of local organs, tissues and cells, and receive certain therapeutic effects. The specific method is to massage the whole foot 3~5 times each time, and then massage it in a targeted way, such as massaging the lateral testicular reflex area of the foot for acne; Chloasma can massage the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, gonad and other reflex areas of the right sole; Eczema can massage the face and chest lymph glands on the back of the foot. Once a day or every other day for 30 to 40 minutes. Walking barefoot at home without shoes and socks can at least get the following benefits: First, you can exercise the "part" where your feet don't touch the ground, which is an important support point for human balance. If the balance function of the human body is not strong, the burden of different parts of the body will be different, leading to a decline in health quality. Second, barefoot can keep five toes moving freely at a certain interval, instead of sticking together as tightly as wearing shoes and socks. It is precisely because of the coordination of movements between toes that people's walking posture is healthy and natural, so barefoot exercise can not only keep fit, but also keep fit. Japanese medical scientists have recently discovered that regular toe exercise can strengthen the stomach. According to the meridian theory, the stomach meridian passes between the second toe and the third toe of the foot, and the origin of the stomach meridian is also at the joints of the toes, so the second toe and the third toe of the foot are thick and elastic. In addition, people with strong gastrointestinal function can hold their toes firmly when standing. People with weak gastrointestinal function may wish to exercise their toes regularly. Take some time out every day, practice holding things with two toes and three toes, or consciously move your toes when sitting or lying down, and persevere, and your gastrointestinal function will gradually increase. Pat the soles of your feet gently with a wooden stick for 50~ 100 times each time, making them feel sour, numb, hot and bloated. Do the left and right feet separately.

Take the supine position, raise your feet in the air, then shake your feet, and finally turn rhythmically like pedaling a bicycle for 5-6 minutes at a time. This method can promote systemic blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Take off your shoes, put a tennis ball in the center of your foot and roll it back and forth for a minute or two, which will help prevent arch cramps or fatigue.
