The origin and function of Foot massage
"Foot massage" originated in China about 4,000 years ago and is part of ancient Chinese traditional medicine. It is a treatment method based on the same principle as "acupuncture and moxibustion", which is also traditional medicine.
After experiencing various dynasties in China, "foot massage" was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and became today's "acupuncture and moxibustion" and "foot-to-heart"; it was introduced to Europe during the Yuan Dynasty.
The principle of "foot massage"
Most of the unhealthy body is due to lack of exercise. In ancient times, people worked barefoot in the fields all day long, and the soles of their feet directly touched the ground, so they were stimulated to promote circulation, and then they sweated and drank water, completing a normal cycle of metabolism and exerting the body's healing instinct. Therefore, the body of the ancients was much healthier than that of modern us."Foot massage" is based on the principle of stimulating acupoints to do treatment.
The "Foot massage" massage method is a natural health method that uses the principle of stimulation to massage the reflex zone of diseased organs or glands to restore their original functions, achieve therapeutic effects, and maintain health.It is a traditional medical method of third medicine.
Through metabolism, our body achieves the function of eliminating waste and toxins from the body.The lymphatic system, kidneys, intestines, skin, etc. scattered throughout the body are the main organs that eliminate waste produced by metabolism. If the function of these organs is abnormal, the waste and toxins in the body cannot be eliminated, and the body will be unhealthy."Foot massage" can stimulate the reflex areas of various parts, make blood circulation smooth, eliminate waste or toxins accumulated in the body, and make the metabolism function normally to achieve the effect of treatment.
The reflex zone is near the nerve endings under the skin, where the reflex zone is located.Some reflex areas are as large as lemons, such as the liver reflex area; others are as small as the needle of a pin (or even smaller), such as the pituitary reflex area. Generally speaking, the size of the reflex zone is proportional to the size of its corresponding organ.
When the organs or glands in the body are abnormal, crystals will be deposited in the reflex area and become pain points.The tactile response of each pain point is different: some feel like sand, some are granular, and some only feel swollen.People who are experienced in massage can feel the presence of crystals before the patient calls for pain.The third medicine uses a medical method that stimulates the regenerative ability of cells and tissues and allows organs to restore and maintain normal function on their own (generally, taking medicine and injections to treat diseases are called the first medicine; physical therapy, ultrasound therapy, etc. are called the second medicine.These two medical theories can only treat symptoms and cannot be cured, so they face a realm that cannot be broken through). This is a future medical trend. There are also many medical scientists working hard to study a medicine. Foot reflex massage is also a kind of third medicine, which can benefit more patients.
