What are the benefits of pedicure?
According to the holographic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, every organ of human body has distribution points on the soles of feet. Stimulating that acupoint can adjust the visceral function of the body and be beneficial to physical and mental health.

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 very important for health.

Healthy people have a pair of feet, but have you ever thought about how much pressure your feet are under? A person weighing 68 kilograms will bear 260 kilograms of pressure on his feet every step. On average, your feet bear 2.6 million kilograms of pressure every day. This number is equivalent to about 40,000 people stepping on your shoes.

In the human body, the foot is farthest from the heart. If the peripheral circulation of the foot is blocked, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to poor metabolism of tissues and organs in the whole body and decreased function.

Scraping 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.

Regulating nervous system

The nervous system is the main regulatory mechanism in 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 nerve tissue are all accomplished through reflex activities, and the basis for completing this activity is neurons.

Neurons ensure the internal unity of the body through reflex activities, so that 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 are adjusted, so that the normal ones are stronger and the abnormal ones are improved and restored.

Dredge meridian qi and blood

Meridian has the function of connecting viscera and limbs. The internal organs, limbs, facial features, nine orifices and bones and muscles of the human body mainly rely on the communication of the meridian system to make the body coordinate and unify.

Meridian has the functions of activating qi and blood, nourishing the whole body, resisting external evils and defending the body. Meridian belongs to zang-fu organs inside and limbs outside, connecting zang-fu organs and body surface, and connecting human organs and tissues into an organic whole.

In the twelve meridians, there are six meridians leading to the foot, namely, Foot Yin San Meridian (Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian) and Foot Sanyang Meridian (Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian). Through the foot scraping massage therapy, the channels and collaterals can be dredged, the pain can be relieved, and the function of human viscera can be adjusted and restored, so that the disordered and diseased viscera function can be repaired and adjusted again, and then the purpose of rehabilitation can be achieved.
