What are the side effects of foot massage

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses drugs, massage, acupuncture, cupping and other methods to treat diseases. These methods can effectively treat different diseases. Moreover, these treatment methods have relatively few side effects. But that doesn't mean these treatments are without side effects. Everything has its pros and cons. So what are the side effects of foot massage? Let us introduce it in detail below.

There are acupuncture points on the human feet that can affect the whole body. Among them, those related to the brain, cerebellum, brain stem, nose, tongue, oral cavity, neck arteries, lymph glands and other organs (tissues) are all concentrated in the toes. If they are massaged and stimulated correctly, the purpose of enhancing memory can be achieved. Massage has basically no side effects.

Rub your toes

Rubbing your toes can help improve memory. The method of rubbing toes is very simple. You can grab the big toes of both feet with your hands and rub them in circular motions. You can rub them several times a day, but each time takes 2-3 minutes. Since memory and calculation abilities are related to the brain, Chinese medicine believes that "the kidneys store essence, which is connected to the brain", so memory and calculation functions are controlled by the kidneys. The little toe is the starting point of the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, so rubbing the little toe can help enhance memory and calculation abilities. You can use your hands to rub your little toe and the outside of it in circular motions. Just rub it for 5 minutes before going to bed or resting.

It is best to wash your feet with warm water before massaging them. First, it is about personal hygiene, and second, warm water can promote blood circulation, which will have a better effect.

Foot massage

When you have insomnia, you can put your feet together and rub them against each other to promote blood circulation. Once your feet feel warm, you can fall asleep soundly in a short time. The method is to lie on your back in bed, lift your feet and rub them against each other. The effect will be better if you rub your hands at the same time. Just rub your feet vigorously about 20 times, and your feet will feel warm and sleepy.

The above are the side effects of foot massage. Although massage has these side effects, if you pay attention to them in your daily life, the impact of these side effects on your body will be relatively small. It will not cause any serious harm to the body. Another thing is to use the correct method when massaging to avoid side effects.
