Doctor: Just a few minutes of foot massage every day is good for the heart and prevents disease.

Massaging and pressing acupressure points on the feet not only helps promote blood circulation and reduce stress, but can also regulate the function of internal organs, improve overall health and prevent disease.

Specialist Doctor 2 Huynh Tan Vu (Day Treatment Unit, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City - Campus 3) explained that the feet, as the end point of the nervous system and blood vessels, are often prone to blood stasis because people spend most of their time standing or sitting. This can cause congestion and reduce blood circulation. Massaging and pressing these blockages helps improve blood circulation, relieve "stiff" conditions in the joints and release the blockage of nerves and blood vessels.

According to traditional medicine, the feet are the place that reflects the internal organs and organs in the body through acupuncture points and meridians. Foot massage directly affects the acupuncture points, helping to regulate and correct dysfunctions of the organs in the body. When the acupuncture points on the feet are stimulated, the impulses will be transmitted to the corresponding internal organs, clearing the meridians and supporting the recovery of the dysfunctional parts.

In addition, massaging the feet not only helps to increase blood circulation, but also improves metabolism, making muscles, bones and joints soft and supple. It also helps to strengthen resistance, support disease prevention and improve overall health. Therefore, the feet are closely related to the health of the internal organs and have a great effect in maintaining and protecting health.

The sole of the foot is related to back pain, fatigue, tinnitus, and deafness. The sole of the foot is related to the kidneys. The big toe is related to the liver and spleen. The fourth toe is related to the liver (rubbing this toe can cure constipation, back and shoulder pain).

The back of the little toe is related to the bladder (rubbing the little toe can cure urinary retention, urinary incontinence, and painful urination).
