The small intestine reflex area on the sole of the foot hurts

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that pain in many acupoints will reflect the health condition of our body, which is what Chinese medicine often calls "pain means obstruction." For example, the reflex zones on the soles of the feet mean that different areas of the feet correspond to various organs of the body. If you experience pain after professional massage, it means that a certain organ is in a sub-healthy state. For example, pain in the small intestine reflex area on the sole of the foot may indicate meridian obstruction in the small intestine.

According to the theory of biological holography, any part of the body contains all the information about the body. As the saying goes, "a glimpse of the whole picture can reveal a small part." In other words, the soles of the feet are the epitome of the human body, and all the organs are reflected in the soles of the feet. According to the reaction of the organs on the soles of the feet, they are divided into different areas, called plantar reflex zones. When the body is sick, the disease of a certain organ will be reflected in the corresponding reflex area. Normally, there is no feeling, but it will be painful when pressed. Through these reflex areas, you can judge the condition of the body. For example, if you feel pain when pressing the small intestine reflex area on the sole of the foot, it means that there is blockage in the small intestine meridian or there is some chronic disease in the small intestine.

Massage stimulation of the reflex zones on the soles of the feet is like acupuncture stimulation of the acupoints. It has a bidirectional regulatory effect. When the function is hyperactive, it can inhibit it; when the function is hypoactive, it can increase the excitability of the body. Massaging the soles of the feet can also improve local blood circulation and, through the connection mechanism between the soles of the feet and the whole body, achieve the purpose of adjusting the balance of the whole body. In addition to pressing the painful points of the small intestine on the sole of the foot, you can also tap the small intestine meridian to dredge the meridians and activate the collaterals, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating diseases in the body.

The reflex zone of the sole of the foot refers to the corresponding part of each organ in the human body on the sole of the foot. By massaging the corresponding part, the state of organ function can be adjusted.

Foot reflexology is an ancient yet novel treatment method. It originated in China, spread abroad hundreds of years ago, flourished and bore fruit abroad, and became popular in Western countries, especially in East Asia, Japan, Central and South Asia (Southeast Asia), Vietnam and other countries.

With the reform and opening up, this traditional method of treating diseases has returned to the motherland. Thanks to the efforts of many experts and scholars, the application of traditional Chinese medicine theories and methods has revitalized foot reflexology therapy both in theory and in the application of specific operating techniques, and has once again taken the leading position in this field in the world. From the perspective of bioholography, the foot area is equivalent to a holographic embryo that reflects information from the entire body. Because the feet are densely populated with blood vessels and nerves, the three yin and three yang meridians of the foot are interconnected in the feet and connected to the whole body through the meridian system. Therefore, the feet are a place where information from the human body is relatively concentrated. Various physiological and pathological information can be manifested in the feet. In clinical application, certain reflex areas are selected for combination according to different diseases. Through the stimulation of the foot reflex areas by massage techniques and scraping therapy, the functions of the corresponding organs, meridians, qi and blood can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the disease.
