First, the origin of pedicure The earliest pedicure in China originated from the ancient health care dance, so it can be said that pedicure culture has a long history in China. The earliest ancient medical monographs "Motome Zhen Jing" and "Huangdi Neijing" have records about human foot acupoint massage. Later, when Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor in the Han Dynasty, studied and created Wu Qin Xi, he also pointed out that the effect of Xi was to "dispel diseases and benefit the hoof and drive away the joints", and called this method "sufficient heart" in Huatuomi Ji. In 1930s, foreign medical circles began to study foot massage. Ms. Guham, an American, published the story of feet in 1938. Almost at the same time, Ms. Martha Frette, a French-Swiss who works in China parish, also made an in-depth study of foot massage. After obtaining China's foot massage atlas and password, she published the book Future Health, which shocked the western medical community. In recent ten years, the research on foot massage in China has made a breakthrough. 1982, Zhongmin founded the International Ruoshi Health Research Association, a professional pedicure massage institution, to popularize Ruoshi pedicure health care method. Second, the principle of pedicure pedicure is a non-drug therapy. By stimulating the reflex zone of the foot, the physiological function of the human body can be adjusted and the function of the immune system can be improved, so as to achieve the purposes of disease prevention, treatment, health care and physical fitness. Scraping foot massage is the main method of pedicure. Originated from Huangdi Neijing. In Huangdi Neijing, the principle of massage therapy is mentioned in many places, and the therapeutic mechanism of dredging meridians and qi and blood is obtained, that is, "it hurts if you can't do it, but it doesn't hurt if you are big." Foot massage is an important part of Chinese medicine. According to the classic medical book Huangdi Neijing more than two thousand years ago, the meridians and acupoints of the whole body are introduced in detail, many of which are acupoints of the foot. The relationship between meridians and acupoints and the five internal organs is also introduced in detail. It is pointed out that visceral diseases can be reflected to superficial acupoints through meridians. According to the symptoms of different acupoints, it can be inferred that there is something wrong with the related viscera function. Foot acupoints can reflect and treat various diseases of the whole body. By treating the feet with massage and acupuncture, the corresponding visceral dysfunction can be corrected, which can restore human health, reduce the occurrence of diseases and play a role in health care and longevity. For many reasons, foot massage is not as elegant as acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and other therapies, but more popular with the people. But there are many written records in medical books or other ancient books. Mr. Su Dongpo, a litterateur in the Song Dynasty, studied health preservation and praised the benefits of rubbing Yongquan point on the sole of his foot. He thought, "Although the effect is not very good, it is invaluable over time ... If you believe in it and do it, it will be of great benefit." It shows that people in China have known about foot health care for a long time. III. Pedicure Development 1982 "International Ruoshi Health Research Society" was established in Taiwan Province Province. 1985, the British Modern Medical Association legalized foot massage as "foot reflex zone therapy" in modern medicine. 1989 held a conference on foot reflexology in California, USA. From 65438 to 0990, the international symposium on Ruo's health law was held in Tokyo, Japan, which made the foot health reflex therapy stand out internationally. In the early 1990s, pedicure health care methods were also paid attention to in China, and various academic groups were established one after another, and specialized pedicure institutions gradually emerged. This non-drug health care method without taking medicine or injection is more and more popular among people from all walks of life. Since 1990s, Ruo's regimen, foot reflex zone regimen, foot regimen and other theories have been widely promoted in China, benefiting many people. At this time, the foot massage technology has matured. 1May, 1999, foot masseurs were included in the People's Republic of China (PRC) Occupational Classification Ceremony. It has become an occupation recognized by the China government, filling a gap in China's occupation. At the same time, the implementation of this standard will also make the cause of foot massage develop along a more standardized and healthy track. At present, domestic foot massage is mainly aimed at health care, mostly in massage parlors, specialized pedicure houses and baths. At present, pedicure has been recognized as a labor skill by the national labor and social security department, and the corresponding qualification certificate can be issued. Ruo's regimen includes three parts: foot diagnosis, foot health care and foot treatment. It is a self-care therapy that integrates massage, meridians, holography, reflection and love. Simple and easy to learn, with obvious effect and no side effects, it is especially suitable for self-care of middle-aged and elderly people. At present, there are three main forms of pedicure in China: 1, mainly based on foot reflex zone and Ruoshi regimen, supplemented by Ruoshi massage and Chinese medicine massage; 2. Foot acupuncture is the main method; 3. The foot reflex zone is combined with traditional acupoints, and the manipulation is also the combination of the above two manipulations.
