According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding acupoints on the feet. People's second and third toes are related to the stomach, and regular exercise of them can achieve the purpose of strengthening the stomach. People with good gastrointestinal function tend to have thick and elastic second and third toes, and hold the ground firmly when standing; If the gastrointestinal function is poor, these two toes are dry and inelastic, and they often can't hold firmly when standing.
The method of moving toes is very simple, and the most common and effective ones are as follows:
Stand or sit, with toes on the ground, feet flat, close to the ground, shoulder width, and do toe scratching for 60 ~ 90 times continuously. When doing this action, you can walk barefoot or wear soft flat shoes, which can be repeated many times a day.
Pick your toes When you wash your feet every day, you can put some oval pebbles or other objects of moderate size in the basin, and practice repeatedly picking with your second and third toes while soaking your feet. Soaking feet with warm water is beneficial to dredge meridians, and picking pebbles or other objects on toes can stimulate local stomach meridian points. Persisting in exercise is of great benefit to patients with gastric diseases.
Pull the toes up or down repeatedly, and cooperate with the massage between the second and third toes. For patients with indigestion, bad breath and constipation, massage should be done along the toes to achieve the purpose of purging stomach fire; For patients with spleen and stomach weakness and diarrhea, you can massage in the direction of your toes in the opposite direction.
