2, the benefits of foot massage
1. Relieve pressure
Many stressed people often suffer from various physical and mental diseases because there is no way to relieve their stress. In fact, foot massage is a very good way to relieve stress. Especially for modern people, being in a state of high tension for a long time can easily lead to inhibition dysfunction, leading to neurosis, insomnia, forgetfulness and other phenomena. If you can do a foot massage before going to bed at night and focus on the soles of your feet, you can suppress the cerebral cortex.
Moreover, after a period of foot massage stimulation, excitement and inhibition can be naturally transformed, and the circulation is normally balanced. A large number of studies have found that foot massage before going to bed can make us sleep soundly at night and feel energetic during the day.
2. Treat cervical spondylosis
Proper foot massage can also help us effectively prevent and treat cervical spondylosis, which is definitely not nonsense. A large number of studies have found that people who have the habit of foot massage in daily life are very unlikely to suffer from cervical spondylosis. For some patients who have already suffered from cervical spondylosis, regular foot massage can also play a better therapeutic role. Medical experts have found that massaging the cervical vertebra in the reflex zone of the foot can produce exciting curative effects.
When you massage, you can control the intensity at a light stage at first, and then gradually increase it, so it is best to feel a little pain. It's best to do it once every morning and evening, each time 10 ~ 30 minutes, for two weeks, and you will have unexpected surprises.
Cancer prevention
A lot of science shows that proper foot massage is very beneficial to human health, and recent research also proves that foot massage has a very effective anti-cancer effect. I believe many people know that saliva can prevent cancer, and massaging Yongquan point on the sole of the foot can ensure that saliva keeps pouring out. As long as we swallow it slowly, it will be good for our health. At the same time, drinking a cup of cold boiled water after foot massage is more effective in preventing cancer.
Promote blood circulation and replenish water immediately during pedicure, which not only enhances the excretion of waste toxins, but also improves renal function.
Treat insomnia
Nowadays, there are more and more people suffering from insomnia, but no matter what causes insomnia, as long as you do foot massage before going to bed at night, you can effectively relieve and treat insomnia symptoms. Sit cross-legged before going to bed every night, feet up, and then hold your breath to get rid of other thoughts. At this time, massage the "Yongquan point" on the soles of the feet with your thumb for hundreds of times, and the sleep quality can be greatly improved after a period of time.
These are the benefits of foot massage, especially for people who have been engaged in manual labor for a long time. In daily life, they need to relieve muscles and nerves through various massages.
