What is a foot massage?
The so-called pedicure refers to the treatment of feet by means of medicated bath, massage, acupuncture, sticking and foot massage, also known as pedicure. What about foot treatment? This is because the foot is closely related to various organs of the human body. According to Chinese medicine, six of the 12 meridians connecting human viscera start and end at the foot and communicate with 66 acupoints of the foot. Foot massage is to stimulate the regulation of meridians, balance the yin and yang of human internal organs, promote the smooth operation of qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of disease prevention, treatment and health care. Medical reflection theory can also prove the relationship between foot and human body, and can also explain the principle of foot massage. Foot massage originated in China and has a history of thousands of years. Today, it has been accepted by more and more people at home and abroad. Foot massage is a natural therapy for human health. Spread and developed overseas, it began to flow into China in 1980s, and gradually emerged with different names such as Ruo's regimen, ethnic massage, foot reflex zone regimen and foot massage regimen. Foot massage has now formed an industry, and its shops are everywhere, which has played a positive role in the promotion of foot massage, but the industry is mixed. Among them, Taiji Foot Health Care, which has more traditional characteristics in China, is a set of self-care methods that are more suitable for families on the basis of inheriting traditional foot health care in China and combining modern medical theory. This method contains the idea that being kind to your feet is being kind to your life. Two characteristics: Taoism is natural and profound; Easy to learn and easy to use, syndrome differentiation and treatment. Three concepts: the concept of movement, the concept of wholeness and the concept of balance. Four contents: washing feet with medicine soup; Massage your feet; Drink water to detoxify; Restore your spirit. Five in one: internal and external integration, unfinished integration, physical and mental integration, dynamic and static integration, and harmony between man and nature.
