The correct flapping method is to take the sole of the foot as the center, radiate rhythmically around, and take slight pain as the degree. You can also sit cross-legged on the bed or chair and put your feet on the knee of the other leg, which is easier. Tap each foot about 100 times, and don't push too hard.
2. Shake your feet
Poor blood circulation in the whole body will lead to visceral disorder, headache, loss of appetite and other sub-health symptoms. Simple foot stimulation can promote blood circulation. Lie on your back on the bed, let your feet shake in the air first, and then let your feet rotate like riding a bicycle. As long as it lasts for 5 to 6 minutes, the blood circulation of the whole body will be improved. This method can also stretch the muscles of the calf and knee and completely eliminate leg fatigue. If people who are afraid of cold in winter practice this method before going to bed, they will feel warm all over and help improve their sleep.
Step 3 walk barefoot
The biggest advantage of this method is to give the sole a chance to exercise. The sole of the foot is an important part to keep the balance of the human body, and the soles of most healthy people are very strong. Try to stimulate the soles of your feet when you walk, or try to walk on cobblestone roads, so that your five toes will not stick together and you can move freely separately. This is a great advantage of walking barefoot. In particular, there is a gap between the big toe and the second toe, which can make walking easier. In order to improve your health, you should free your feet from your shoes and socks as much as possible and walk barefoot at home.

Sunbathing is a natural therapy to improve health. Sunbathing on the soles of the feet, known as the second heart, can achieve unexpected health care effects.

Anyone who sunbathes on the soles of his feet is not easy to get heatstroke in summer and catch a cold all year round. When the weather is fine, the sun can directly shine on the soles of your feet for 20 to 30 minutes every day outdoors. Don't bask in the sun through the glass, because most ultraviolet rays will be absorbed by the glass.
5, sole friction
Many patients complain to doctors that they often lie awake in bed because of worry or anxiety, tossing and turning until dawn. In fact, because the soles of the feet are farthest from the heart and the peripheral blood circulation is not smooth, the feet are afraid of cold and easy to lose sleep. Insomnia can make your feet close together and rub against each other, so that the blood circulation is smooth. When your feet feel warm, you can fall asleep in a short time. The method is to lie on your back in bed, lift your feet, and then rub each other hard. It would be better if you rubbed your hands at the same time. As long as you rub it hard for 20 times, your feet will feel warm and sleepy.

If you use ordinary cream or ointment, the maintenance effect will be better than emulsion. It is best to wrap your feet with plastic wrap and put on socks after application. After 6 to 8 hours, the whitening and moisturizing effect will be better!
7. Don't wear high heels and sandals for a long time.

Some maintenance products contain ingredients such as fruit acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or urea, which can enhance the exfoliation effect; Moisturizing ingredients extracted from sodium lactate, glycerol, sugar and seaweed can strengthen the effect of cutin softening; In addition, the vegetable oil extract containing allspice, purslane or shea butter can also increase the physical therapy effect of the product.
