There are thousands of nerves in our hands, legs and feet. Each one of these nerves can be used to stimulate the body. But this requires knowledge about where these sensitive nerves are located and what they do. This specialty, called foot reflexology, has been used as alternative medicine for centuries. In fact, reflexology is the basis of acupuncture treatment. Reflexology provides treatment by touching various fine points of the body. Although reflexology is not a cure for every disease, experts say that it offers a very powerful treatment for sleep problems, high blood pressure problems and stress.
It has been scientifically proven that reflexology increases the rate of blood flow to the kidneys and intestines and thus causes positive changes in dialysis patients, provides great relief by lowering blood pressure, and reduces pain in patients with chest diseases and diabetes.
By stimulating the 6 sensitive points on our feet with massage, we can achieve significant relief in our body. By massaging the big toe, we can control our appetite and ensure weight loss with the right aerobic movements. The middle of the left big toe is the entry point of the pituitary gland. If there is any hormone irregularity, we can try to control this imbalance by massaging this point. Massaging the base of the big toe is almost the same as massaging the thyroid gland. It corrects unbalanced blood pressure and allows us to relax if we are very stressed. The inner parts of our feet are directly linked to the hormone adrenaline and by massaging here we can maximize our energy levels. Massaging the heel area activates our excretory system and has a great effect on getting rid of toxins in our body. The midpoint of our feet is directly connected to the diaphragm. Massaging here is the best way to deal with stress. Massaging these areas regularly every day to achieve good results not only makes us healthier, but also allows us to be less worn out from stress thanks to the relaxation it provides.
