What role does Chinese medicine leg therapy have?
This is actually the same as pedicure. According to the trend of human meridians, human feet are the foundation of the "four roots". Proverbs: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", "Cold begins with the foot" and "Old feet lead to aging" all illustrate the important role of feet in the human body. In fact, people's internal organs have corresponding acupoints on the soles of their feet. There are 66 acupoints on both feet, accounting for110 of the whole body. Regular foot massage can regulate internal organs, balance yin and yang, dredge meridians, strengthen the body, eliminate diseases and prolong life. As early as Huangdi Neijing, the theoretical principle of foot health care was recorded. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors used foot massage to achieve the purpose of treatment and health care. Foot massage affects the whole body function by exerting pressure on the foot surface, and achieves the function of regulating various organs of the body. Feet are closely related to the viscera and meridians of the whole body and bear all the weight of the body, so some people call it the "second heart" of human beings. It is observed that the relationship between the sole and the whole is similar to that of a pregnant fetus: the head is facing the heel, the buttocks are facing the toes, and the internal organs are distributed in the middle of the sole surface. According to the above principles and laws, stimulating foot points can regulate the whole body function and treat visceral diseases. Human anatomy also shows that the blood vessels and nerves on the feet are much richer than other parts, and countless nerve endings have special connections with various tissues and organs in the head, hands and body. So many diseases can be treated by simple foot massage.

Foot massage can accurately and effectively stimulate plantar lesions. Because the plantar acupoints correspond to the nerve gathering points of the main organs of the human body, massage can stimulate the blood circulation of the meridians, accelerate the blood circulation of the human body, and dredge the peripheral capillaries, thus achieving the purpose of treating diseases and protecting health.
