The practices of foot reflexology and acupressure have become well
accepted as more people are increasingly aware of the importance of
maintaining one’s health. In general, foot therapy includes two parts, foot
bath and foot reflexology, with the latter being most common. There are 77
reflex zones and 65 acupoints in the feet, each corresponding closely to a
human internal organ or tissue. Stimulating these acupoints or the
pathological reflex zones will regulate the functions of the zangfu organs
and alleviate a variety of diseases, which will help people stay healthier.
Many of the reflex zones are located in the feet. Which should I
massage? Should I do both? If I am coughing constantly, should I massage
when I am coughing, or simply massage on a daily basis? My hands get
tired doing reflexology. Is there a way to reduce the stress on my hands?
What should I do if I cannot accurately locate the acupoints and reflex
zones in my feet? This book will address these questions that have been
raised by readers, outlining detailed steps including the duration of each
massaging, the number of sessions needed to treat a disease, and how many
sessions a course of treatment requires. In addition, the book will teach you
how to use a reflexology stick, which not only relieves the stress on the
hands, but also generates better therapeutic effects.
The book features pictures of real persons and computer graphics to
show the locations of acupoints and reflex zones. They are not only
beautiful to look at and easy to find, but are also highly accurate. The book
has included foot reflexology and acupressure for 53 common diseases,
alongside ten additional types of therapeutic approaches. You will learn to
administer foot reflexology and acupressure simply by following the
picture, with one image dedicated to each step. Massaging at home for a
few minutes every morning and evening, for yourself or for your family,
will bring both physical and mental relaxation to those who suffer from
exhaustion.
Your health journey begins with a single step.
