Human health is closely related to feet. A human foot is like a root. When a tree dies, the roots wither first, and people get old first. The health care function of feet on human body has long attracted the attention and research of the ancients. Among them, "foot bath" has been popular for thousands of years because of its simplicity and effectiveness. The ancient book "Miscellaneous Notes" said that "feet are the bottom of people, and they should be washed once a night." Literature masters Su Dongpo and Lu You. They all left poems such as "My master advised me to wash my feet and sleep, but I couldn't smell the bells and drums when I fell on the bed" and "I washed my feet and went to bed too fast, and the little grandson soup gradually disappeared". Even Emperor Qianlong believed in the regimen of "300 steps in the morning and one pot of soup at night".

Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding projections on the feet, which is the starting point of the three yin meridians of the foot and the end point of the three yang meridians of the foot. There are more than 60 acupoints under the exposed joints. If you often soak your feet with hot water, you can stimulate the acupoints of your feet, strengthen blood circulation, regulate the internal organs, dredge meridians and enhance metabolism, thus strengthening your body and eliminating evil spirits. China's folk ballad goes: "Wash your feet in spring, the sun rises, the sun rises;" Wash your feet in summer and get rid of dampness; Wash feet in autumn, moisten lungs and intestines; It makes sense to wash your feet in winter, and your abdomen is warm.

There are many blood vessels in the soles of people's feet, so foreign medical experts call the soles of people's feet "the second heart". There are countless nerve endings connected with the brain on the soles of the feet, acupuncture points leading to the whole body on the soles of the feet and Yongquan points on the soles of the feet. Massage this acupoint has the functions of nourishing yin, tonifying kidney and nourishing internal organs. Therefore, massaging the soles of the feet can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, and be beneficial to health and longevity.

Nowadays, massage and pedicure are good ways to relax and keep healthy. Pedicure is a non-drug therapy, which can stimulate the reflex zone of the foot, adjust the physiological function of the human body, improve the function of the immune system, and achieve the purposes of disease prevention, treatment, health care and physical fitness.

First, promote blood circulation.

Blood flows in the blood circulation system composed of heart and blood vessels, conveying nutrients and discharging waste. Promoting blood circulation is essential to health. A healthy person has two feet, but have you ever thought about how much pressure the feet bear? A person weighing 68 kilograms will bear 260 kilograms of pressure on his feet with every step. On average, your feet will bear 2.6 million kilograms of pressure every day, which is equivalent to about 40,000 people stepping on your shoes.

The foot is the farthest from the heart in the human body. If the peripheral circulation of the foot is blocked, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to poor metabolism and decreased function of all tissues and organs in the whole body. Foot massage can make the blood circulation of the foot smooth, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, accelerate the metabolism of the body, supplement nutrition, and make your body run healthily and normally.

Second, regulate the nervous system.

The nervous system is the main regulatory mechanism of the body. Nerve tissue is distributed in all parts of the human body and plays an extremely important role in controlling and regulating the activities of the body. The important and complex physiological functions of nerves are all accomplished through reflex activities, and the basis of this activity is neurons. Through the reflex activity of neurons, the internal unity of the body is ensured, and the functional activities of various organs can better adapt to the changes of the external environment.

The foot is rich in nerve tissue. By effectively stimulating the plantar reflex zone, the functions of corresponding tissues and organs can be adjusted, so that the normal ones become stronger and the abnormal ones are improved and restored.

Third, dredge meridians and qi and blood.

Collaterals have the function of connecting viscera and limbs. The internal organs, limbs, five senses and nine orifices, and bones and muscles of the human body mainly rely on the communication of the meridian system to coordinate and unify the body. I

As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. With the increasing competitive pressure in modern society, the concept of pedicure is particularly timely and important. If "hands" create everything for us, then "feet" make everything come true and possible!

Fourth, warm and healthy reminder.

Health is wealth, and health needs more attention and bit by bit accumulation! It should be noted here that pedicure is not just called pedicure in a pedicure shop. The pedicure itself may not be important, but it is important to have common sense of daily health care and more awareness of self-care. You can do pedicure anytime, anywhere. I believe that pedicure can't cure all diseases, but it will definitely make you healthier.
