Chinese Foot Massage
Feet are often the most neglected organs of the body, even though they do most of the work by supporting the entire body’s weight throughout the day!
Ancient Chinese believed that our feet hold all the vital nerve points of the entire body. As a result, they believed that taking good care of the feet will ensure good health.
Chinese foot massage is an excellent way of taking good care of your feet. Chinese foot massage is easy to follow and has proved to be very effective in the day-to-day life.
Chinese foot massage originated thousands of years ago in the ancient China. It is based on the Chinese meridian system according to which our body is powered by ‘chi’ or life energy.
The ancient Chinese believed that ‘chi’ flows through the entire body and thus, gives us energy to carry out daily activities properly. If there is an obstruction in this flow of energy within the body, then the body will be in a state of imbalance.
Chinese foot massage therapy is a combination of foot massage with Chinese herbal medicine. It is based on curative actions whereby the ‘acupressure points’ are stimulated during the massage based on the principles of reflexology.
Chinese massage begins with soaking your feet in warm water containing medicines especially suitable for you. Once your feet are rested, relaxed, massage oil or lotion is applied.
The next and most important step essentially involves applying pressure on specific ‘acupressure’ points and stimulating them to restore the flow of life energy and correct any imbalances to help the person remain healthy.
There are many benefits of a Chinese Foot Massage, most important being improved circulation in legs and hands. It helps reduce stiffness and improves flexibility.
Chinese Foot Massage has proven to be highly effective in lowering levels of stress and anxiety in the body. It also helps improve sleep, reduce headaches. It also helps eliminate toxins and wastes and improves immune system.
It is not surprising that when a Chinese person comes home, he relaxes himself by removing his shoes first and then and by rubbing the soles of his feet. The idea is to allow the free flow of ‘chi’ that may be blocked due to an accumulation of stress and anxiety in the body.
Chinese foot massage is becoming the new buzzword in the world of alternative medicine owing to its many benefits. This therapy is helping a large number of people all over the world with its curative power.
