The foot is called the "second heart" of our body, which shows its importance to our health. The foot is a place where the meridians and acupoints of the body are very dense, so it is necessary to raise the foot for health preservation, and the foot health preservation focuses on raising the foot. There are more than 60 acupoints on the soles of the feet, and proper massage on these acupoints is of great benefit to our health. So how do we keep our feet healthy? Below I recommend some Chinese medicine foot massage methods!

First, pat the soles of your feet.

Before going to bed every night, you can beat the soles of your feet with your fists properly, which will help to eliminate the fatigue of the day, stimulate acupuncture points, promote blood circulation throughout the body, and enhance our visceral function. The correct knocking method is: take the sole of the foot as the center, radiate around slowly, and feel a little painful, or sit cross-legged with your feet on the knee of the other leg, which is convenient for knocking. Knock on each foot at about 100.

Second, shake your feet.

If the blood circulation is not smooth, it may lead to visceral disorder and a series of physical discomfort symptoms. At this time, the feet can be properly stimulated, which can effectively promote blood circulation and help improve physical discomfort. The specific method is to lie on your back on the bed, let your feet shake in the air first, and then let your feet rotate like a bicycle for 5-6 minutes. This method can not only improve blood circulation, but also exercise your leg muscles and eliminate leg fatigue.

Third, walk barefoot.

The sole of the foot is an important part of the human body to maintain balance. When walking, be as healthy as possible. The biggest advantage of walking barefoot is to give the soles of the feet as many exercise opportunities as possible, and walking barefoot will leave a gap between the big toe and the second toe, which will make walking lighter. Therefore, it is best to free your feet from your shoes and socks at home and not catch cold.

Fourth, foot bath lamp.

Generally, our feet are stuffed in shoes and socks, and we seldom see sunshine. What we don't know is that the foot bath lamp also has a magical health care function, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun also have a certain stimulating effect on our feet, which can speed up metabolism and enhance the function of internal organs. When the weather is fine, we can let the sun shine directly on our feet for 20 ~ 30 minutes outdoors every day. It is best not to lie across the glass, because the glass will block most ultraviolet rays!

Five, foot friction

Nowadays, people are under great pressure in life and nervous, and often suffer from irritability, insomnia and dreaminess. At this time, you can rub the soles of your feet, speed up the blood circulation, let the blood flow smoothly, and let your feet feel warm, so you can naturally sleep peacefully. The specific method is that we lie on our back in bed, lift our feet, and then rub each other hard. If our hands rub together, the effect will be better. As long as you rub it hard for 20 times, your feet will feel warm and sleepy.

Sixth, rub your toes.

When we keep the soles of our feet healthy, our toes are easily overlooked. Rubbing our toes often can enhance our memory. We all know that the calculation ability is controlled by the cerebellum, and the little toe is the reflection area of the cerebellum, so rubbing the little toe often can improve the calculation ability. Specific methods: grab the big toe of the foot and do circular rubbing exercise, rubbing it several times a day, rubbing the outer side of the little toe for 2 ~ 3 minutes each time, as long as rubbing it for 5 minutes before class or before going to bed.

Seven, according to the foot.

Heel is also an important part of health care. It is also good for our health to hit our heels frequently. Pressing the heel often can help us correct hunchback. The muscles on both sides of the spine are connected with the heel through the bladder meridian, and humpback can be effectively corrected by stimulating the heel. The method is to press the heel with your fingers until you feel pain.

The viscera and organs of the human body have holographic reaction to the soles of the feet, so we can also make the body healthier through the soles of the feet. Of course, we massage different parts of the soles of our feet and care for different internal organs. I hope you'd better know more about the acupoints on the soles of your feet and have a better foot massage!
