Although the only * * * trend in Taiwan Province Province was introduced and promoted from abroad by Swiss father Wu, it has been popular for more than 30 years. Still popular today. In fact, the sole of the foot is not a product of western civilization, but a part of ancient national traditional medicine. Robbie, a poet in the Song Dynasty, recorded in the History of Tao: "When Kang Yin's family was depressed, those who benefited his joints and even danced for it were called big dances."
That is to say, the origin of sole * * * is related to dance health care in Kang Yin era (after Emperor Yan Shennong). Ancient people dance to generate heat energy, which can refresh their minds and eliminate fatigue. At the same time, they also found that when they were sick, their feet felt pain, and when they recovered, the pain disappeared. The principle of playing is skin texture and skin surface; Followed by heavy weight, swollen feet, feeling congestion and soreness on the skin surface; Dance, in the future, will evolve into a fitness qigong guide. That is, dancing is used to * * * the soles of your feet and feel the pain in your feet, which embodies the principle of good health.
The soles of feet and acupoints are different.
Zhang Jiabei, a Chinese doctor, said that the sole of the foot is based on the concept of reflective area, which is equivalent to shrinking the human body and lying on the sole of the foot. When it is pressed to which part of the sole of the foot hurts, it means that there is something wrong with that part of the body, which is the same as the principle of auricular point of the ear. The part of the ear expands to the corresponding part of the body.
However, there is no reflex zone in TCM, and Yongquan point is the only acupuncture point in TCM. Yongquan point is located in the fovea of the sole, in front of the forefoot 1/3, and it is the point of kidney meridian. Therefore, the sole of the foot has nothing to do with acupuncture points, and it has nothing to do with meridians and acupoints of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, Yongquan point is located in the deep part of the sole of the foot, so it is impossible to simply press the point * * * by hand, and the effect of the point * * * can only be achieved through acupuncture.
Foot care is similar to the theory of foot heat and head cold in traditional Chinese medicine.
Compared with the acupoints on the soles of feet, foot reflection zone's principle is similar to "foot bath" and "foot heat and head cold" in traditional Chinese medicine pedicure. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that heat originates from the beginning and cold enters from the foot. Instead of taking medicine, it is better to keep your head cold and your feet hot, which can prevent symptoms such as headache, thirst and polyuria. A healthy body has a cool head and hot feet, while a sick body has a cool head and cold feet. Warm feet can be soaked in warm water or warmed.
Zheng Zeng, an adjunct professor in the Department of Transportation and Insurance at Taipei Nursing and Health University, has studied with Father Wu for more than 37 years. He said that the concept of foot massage is to use reflex zones, not acupoints. At first, the exact corresponding position and boundary between the reflection block and the human organ were not clear, because different experiences did not agree on the cognitive position of the foot reflection area and the corresponding human organ. However, after nearly 37 years of research, discussion and exploration, the corresponding organ map of foot reflex area has gradually formed.
10 explores the corresponding position map of each organ in the plantar reflex zone.
Zheng pointed out that the foot reflex zone map originally used by Father Wu was imported from Europe and has a history of one hundred years. Westerners' feet are long and thin, which is quite different from China's short and fat feet. On the one hand, he and Father Wu should help people implement the soles of their feet, and on the other hand, they should constantly revise them according to their daily experience to find out the correct corresponding position map of the organs in the reflex zone of the feet.
He and his father Wu found that toes are organs above the neck, such as the brain and five senses, and the big toe is the head. Draw a line at the bottom of the sole with the metatarsal bone (middle foot bone) as the boundary, with the upper body above and the lower body below.
According to his experience, people with Parkinson's disease are very helpful to sleep and activity after pressing the massive reactant in the center of the big toe of the foot and pushing it away. The heart is just above the third and fourth metatarsal bases of the left foot; Half of metatarsal bone is diaphragm, the upper part is thoracic cavity, and the lower part is upper abdominal cavity. The pancreas has a mass near the base of the medial metatarsal, which will hurt if pressed, and may have diabetes. At first, there were 65 foot reflex zones. After the continuous development of Father Zheng He and Wu, it has now increased to more than 80.
Zhang Jiabei said that plantar * * * doesn't have an accurate map of meridians and acupoints like the evolution of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Paradoxically, among her outpatients, some people did find themselves sick through the soles of their feet. After being diagnosed by Chinese medicine or western medicine, the name, location and cause of the disease were the same as those described in the soles of their feet.
Maintaining the effect, the little soldier has made great contributions.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Jiabei thinks that the sole of the foot can't be said to have therapeutic effect on diseases unless the symptoms are very mild, but the gap is still very big. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment, and its effect on body maintenance should be more obvious than that of treatment.
Zhang Jiabei's patients had irregular menstruation, too many blood clots, and after passing through the soles of their feet, the blood volume and blood clots decreased and improved; Some people were also found to have uterine fibroids by the plantar teacher. After ultrasonic examination, there is indeed a big fibroid in the uterus. As for whether the sole of the foot has a specific effect on the disease, it still depends on the severity of the disease, the types of the disease and the personal physique. According to her observation, migraine, aching bones and muscles, irregular menstruation and so on. Might be more effective.
Zheng said that people with gastrointestinal discomfort and cranial nerve diseases, in addition to western medicine therapy, had better match the soles of their feet, especially the developing children, to grow tall and strong through the soles of their feet and be emotionally stable. In addition, many of his patients are seriously ill, such as cancer. Through foot massage, they have good spirits and physical strength, which can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and be optimistic about fighting diseases. For healthy people, the soles of the feet can be kept young and have a maintenance effect. Some people can achieve rosy complexion and less wrinkles on the face and neck by long-term foot massage.
Graduate students from Hong Guang University of Science and Technology and National Taipei Nursing University also found that patients with ischemic stroke can improve their daily life function and strengthen their rehabilitation function through the soles of their feet. Through foot massage, women who give birth naturally can have better sleep quality; Patients who use the ventilator for a long time can relieve anxiety and dyspnea through the soles of their feet, which is helpful to get rid of the dependence on the ventilator as soon as possible; Patients after intervertebral disc surgery, children with cerebral palsy, patients with end-stage renal disease, patients with gastric cancer and liver cancer, etc. , can relieve anxiety and reduce the use of painkillers.
Zheng recalled that more than 30 years ago, many critically ill patients went to Taitung to ask Father Wu for soles, and the response was good. Neither he nor his father Wu knows the reason. Western medicine believes that the soles of the feet can promote blood circulation throughout the body. It was not until Zhang Yingqing, a late professor of Shandong University and a scholar of traditional Chinese medicine, put forward "holographic biology" that there was a clear framework. Biological holography refers to the local tissues of organisms, such as single cells, tissues and organs, which carry all physiological information in the organism. So you can know whether your body is sick or not through the part of the sole of your foot. Even if there is a problem.
Precautions before and after the sole * * *
Remember to wash your feet before soles of your feet. You can also soak your feet moderately, or use a hot towel for hot compress. After warming your feet and relaxing your muscles and bones, do * * * to increase the effect. * * *, then you can drink a glass of water to replenish the body fluids lost during the * * period due to accelerated metabolism. Zheng added that patients will be given water according to their personal needs, but some people, such as patients with kidney disease, need to pay special attention to water control, and the soles of their feet should be given water according to the patient's situation.
The time of sole * * * is 1 time, about 25 ~ 30 minutes. From the big toe of the foot to the inside of the sole, the instep, the outside of the sole and the sole of the foot, for convenience, body lotion, oil, etc. Can cooperate with * * *, * * meatballs can be exempted from ointment.
As for the foot health trail in the park, it is not recommended. Zheng said that the original design was fine sand and pebbles. Unfortunately, it was later constructed as cement stone, and it was easy to hurt the periosteum when people stepped barefoot. Therefore, it is suggested to find a smooth stone suitable for the shape of your arch, which can achieve the effect of safe sole.
Zhang Jiabei said that patients with plantar myositis, diabetes, blood coagulation disorder, foot injury or tinea pedis and those with severe anemia had better not have plantar surgery. As for those who have poor blood circulation and are prone to cold hands and feet, foot massage on weekdays can promote blood circulation.
