From the perspective of meridian science, the function of human internal organs has corresponding acupoints on the feet. Foot is not only the starting point of Yin San Meridian of Foot, but also the end point of Sanyang Meridian of Foot. Yongquan point is located at the sole of foot and is one of the most important acupoints in human body.
Introduction of Yongquan point;
Yongquan point: it is the point of the kidney meridian of foot shaoyin, located at the sole of the foot, allowing patients to bend their feet and roll their toes. This point is the most depressed part of the foot center. Yongquan point can tonify kidney, clear heat, reduce qi, dredge collaterals and enlighten the mind. Mainly used to treat dizziness, dizziness, foot fever, insomnia, hemoptysis, syncope and other diseases.
This point is located at 1/3 in front of the sole of the foot (excluding the toes) and at the connecting line between the two sides of the foot edge. In Huangdi Neijing, it is mentioned that "the kidney comes from a spring, and the spring is full of heart", that is to say, the qi of the kidney meridian is like the source water, gushing out and irrigating all parts of the body and limbs. This acupoint is very meaningful for nourishing yin and reducing fire, and can relieve symptoms such as dry mouth, dizziness and anxiety caused by excessive internal heat. The method is to put the thumb on the acupoint and rub it vigorously for 20 ~ 30 times. Massage in the morning and before going to bed is helpful to nourish yin and reduce fire.
As far as meridians and acupoints in TCM are concerned, there are many acupoints on the soles of feet, such as Yongquan, Yin Zhi, Taibai, Dadu, Gongsun, Gu Ran, Jinggu and Jinmen. As far as the plantar reflex zone is concerned, there are more reflex zones, which represent different parts of the body and internal organs respectively. The two are different concepts. Under the soles of the feet are mainly Yongquan points of the kidney meridian of foot shaoyin.
Feet together, like a projected human figure looking down from behind, the big toe of the foot looks like a human head; The first half of the sole is shaped like a person's chest (with lungs and heart); On the outer side of the sole, from top to bottom are shoulders, elbows, knees and other parts; The middle part of the sole is shaped like a human abdomen, with organs such as stomach, intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder (right side), spleen (left side) and kidney. In the heel, there are reproductive organs (uterus, ovary, prostate, etc. ), bladder, urethra, vagina, anus, etc. The inside of the foot forms a line of the arch of the foot, which looks like the human spine (cervical vertebra-thoracic vertebra-lumbar vertebra-sacrum).
Massage can achieve the effect of relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, stimulating foot acupoints and stimulating menstrual qi of human body, thus achieving the purpose of conditioning the body and treating diseases.
For example, the lower four fingers of the thumb, the heart of the foot, the inner edge of the foot, and the gastric reflex area of about one inch; The lower edge of the foot center to the foot root is the intestinal reflex zone; Between the first phalanx and the second phalanx of the sole of the foot, there is a band called thyroid gland, which can treat insomnia, emotional anxiety, obesity and so on by regular massage.
Benefits of foot massage:
Benefits of magnetic therapy:
Magnetic field can improve blood circulation and tissue nutrition, reduce the excitability of peripheral nerves, promote the decomposition and transformation of pain-causing substances, thus playing an analgesic role; Magnetic field can strengthen local blood circulation and improve tissue permeability, which is beneficial to the dissipation of inflammation and the absorption of exudate. At the same time, the magnetic field can also improve the nonspecific immune function of the body, which seems to change the general state of patients, improve the resistance to diseases, and inhibit and prevent the recurrence of diseases; Magnetic field can promote local blood circulation, accelerate the absorption and dissipation of inflammatory exudates, and has the effect of detumescence.
Benefits of soaking feet in hot water:
1, promoting blood circulation:
According to the theory of keeping in good health, the foot is farthest from the human heart and bears the heaviest burden. It has been said since ancient times that the second heart of the human body is also the most likely to cause poor blood circulation. It is recorded in medical classics that "a man with feet is still like a tree with roots, and the roots of the tree are exhausted first, and the old feet of the man are old first." For people with cold hands and feet, soaking feet is the best way to promote blood circulation.
2. Stimulate the acupoints, reflex zones and meridians of the foot:
Pressing the footsteps can also reflect whether there is something wrong with the corresponding liver. When doing pedicure, the masseur will feel pain and soreness when pressing our feet, but after pressing, he will feel relaxed all over. There are six main meridians on the soles of the feet. Soaking feet can stimulate these six meridians and promote blood circulation.
3. Adjuvant treatment of diseases:
As early as thousands of years ago, Chinese medicine attached great importance to the exercise and maintenance of the foot, and used foot massage (pedicure) to prevent and treat diseases. There is a folk saying that "the rich take tonic and the poor soak their feet", which shows the great role of soaking their feet. Modern people yearn for air-conditioned rooms and like to eat cold food, so some people will feel cold and wet in their bodies. Soaking their feet can accelerate the discharge of cold in their bodies.
4, improve sleep, eliminate insomnia:
Insisting on soaking feet also has a good effect on improving sleep. Soaking feet in water at 43 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes can reduce lactic acid in the blood. Moreover, the foot is rich in nerve endings and capillaries. Soaking the foot with hot water has a mild and good stimulating effect on nerves and capillaries. This warm stimulation is reflected in the cerebral cortex, which plays an inhibitory role, thus improving sleep and eliminating insomnia. Soaking feet can increase the blood velocity and flow of feet, thus improving heart function, reducing heart load, promoting metabolism, and regulating meridians and qi and blood.
