Foot Massage Therapy Stay Healthy the Chinese Way

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), many channels and collaterals run downward from the organs and tissues of the human body into corresponding areas on the feet and, therefore, stimulating these areas can help regulate the functioning of these organs and tissues and cure diseases. Contemporary research in human anatomy has revealed that the feet have more blood vessels and nerves than any other part of the human body and that the numerous nerve endings at the feet have a special relationship with the head, hands and several tissues and organs of the body. Thanks to this relationship, foot massage has emerged as a miraculous curative and health-preserving therapy.

Today, it is an accepted fact that regular foot massage not only improves the functioning of all organs and the flow of qi in channels and collaterals, and invigorates blood circulation, but also cures diseases and helps to preserve health and life.
