Why are people in China keen on foot massage?
I think China people's love for foot massage has something to do with the origin of ancient Chinese medicine in China. As we all know, China's long history and culture can not be separated from traditional Chinese medicine, and it is now recognized as acupuncture in China by the whole world. From the theoretical thinking of acupuncture and moxibustion, the soles of the feet are the ends of the human body, where many acupoints are gathered, and all organs of our body have corresponding reflection areas. Massage the soles of the feet because it reaches these reflex zones, thus playing a preventive role in maintaining the body. Foot massage is because we usually walk with the help of our feet, and the ancient road is not as smooth as it is now. Ancient people walked with potholes, and the soles of their feet would be particularly uncomfortable after a day of farming, so at this time people would use some foot massage or hot water immersion or drugs to soak their feet. It has reached a more comfortable state of blood circulation. I think China people like foot massage for two most important reasons. First, foot massage can eliminate people's fatigue in a day and bring them spiritual relaxation. Another point is that proper foot massage can prevent human diseases and play a role in health care.

This is why foot massage is so popular in China. Basically, we will see one or two foot massages at the door of each community, and their business is also very good. Although people in today's society may often drive cars instead of walking long distances, people generally wear leather shoes now, and leather objects are relatively not particularly breathable, so the tightness of their feet is also serious. So I think this is also some reasons why people fall in love with foot massage. Nowadays, foot massage is more than just massage. Some things, such as fumigation or soaking in some simple Chinese herbal medicines, are also effective. For example, some guests' feet are often uncomfortable, and some corresponding drugs can be added. Personally, I like foot massage, because it can really eliminate the fatigue of a day and make people feel comfortable after massage.
