The effect of foot massage on headache

Headache is a common disease among us. It not only makes us restless and painful, but also prevents us from concentrating on work and sleeping peacefully. Generally speaking, we treat headaches by taking headache medicine, but medicine is toxic to some extent. Besides taking medicine, how else can we treat headaches? Now I will tell you how to use foot massage to treat headaches, hoping it will help headache patients.

Foot massage: Foot massage is unique in relieving headaches. When the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet are stimulated, the brain produces a chemical substance that inhibits nerve cells from transmitting pain information, thereby achieving the purpose of pain relief. The specific method is: when a headache occurs, pinch and massage the lower part of both big toes with both hands at the same time. The headache symptoms can be relieved in about 5 minutes, and then slowly massage the soles of the feet for 10 minutes.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs of the human body correspond to the feet. Washing the feet frequently can stimulate the acupoints of the feet, enhance blood circulation, and dredge the meridians. Medical experts believe that if you can regularly massage the corresponding reflex areas of the feet, it can promote blood circulation and improve the body's resistance. The principle of foot reflexology health care is to stimulate the skin of the feet with pressure, which also plays a certain role in the internal organs and other parts of the body. There are many reflex areas on the feet corresponding to internal organs or parts of the body.
