1. Improvement of blood circulation
The
feet are located at lowest part of the body and because they are very
distal to theheart, it is fairly easy for the feet to suffer from
peripheral circulation disorders and bloodsupply insufficiency. Venous
drainage obstruction creates metabolic waste deposits in thefeet, and
these deposits are transformed into toxins. This can involve the joints
and organsand give rise to arthritis or other organ lesions. With
stimulation to the reflective zones, thedeposited waste can be removed
and excreted by kidney due to enhanced blood circulation.The improvement
of foot blood circulation can promote the whole body blood circulation.
2. Regulation of organs' function
Stimulation
of reflective zones can regulate organ function and delay the organ
agingprocess through nerve reflection. The heart function can be
improved by reflective zonestimulation. For example, patients suffering
from tachycardia, bradycardia and arrthymia,can regain a normal heart
beat by this therapy, which is safer than medication.
3. Improvement of endocrine function
The
function of endocrine glands can be regulated by stimulating the
correspondingreflective zones, and will have a long-lasting effect on
the human body, because thehormones secreted by the glands will be
distributed to whole body through the bloodcirculation. For example, the
pituitary gland will secrete more growth hormone due tostimulation of
its reflective zone in foot, which can in turn stimulate hormone
secretion ofother glands benefiting the body. The recurrent appropriate
stimulation to pituitary glandreflective zone has good effect on the
body condition, especially for elderly patients withendocrine disorders
and children to improve their growth.
4. Enhancement of immunology system
The
immunological system can be enhanced by stimulation of spleen
reflective regionand lymphatic reflective zones. For immunological
system dysfunctions, as diseasepresentation, decrease or deficiency can
result in various diseases. By stimulation ofreflective zones, foot
relfexotherapy can improve the immunological function and havea good
effect on low immune system functions and a range of allergies, such as
asthma,allergic rhinitis, and urticaria etc.
PrefaceFoot
reflexotherapy（ Foot massage）, one of the important componentsof
Chinese Medicine, is a nature therapy with high efficiency,
Simplemanipulation and no side-effect, which is created by Shufu, a
famous ChineseMedicine doctor in ancient time. This therapy does work
effectively whenthe foot reflective zone is pressed by doctors. Since
Tang and Song Dynasty,foot reflexotherapy is excluded from main stream
of Chinese Medicine due tofeudal customs that showing naked foot is
considered as inelegant behavior.It has been partly lost because the
doctors didn't want to touch the foot, andonly spread among certain
local areas. Since the opening and reform policy,foot reflxotherapy
became popularized again in China. Chinese governmenthas put emphasis on
foot reflxotherapy and established a national academicfoot
reflxotherapy association. Until now it has been developed into a
newbranch of health prevention.
After my graduation, by chance I was
engaged in foot reflxotherapy,and have been deeply fascinated by its
amazing effect. Practiced for nearly20 years, I accumulated experiences
by treating more than 10 thousandspatients. Based on our clinical
practices, we wrote this book Practical FootReflexotherapy with the aim
to introduce this therapy to more people.
One of the features of this
book is the illustration of treating each disease.The readers can do
the treatment for themselves and friends following theinstruction.
Unlike medication, foot reflexotherapy is effective, economic andWithout
any harmful results.
