“The upper disease is taken down, and all diseases are treated in the foot.” This is a long-standing saying in Chinese medicine that the foot is the second heart of the human body. Although the foot is located in the lowest part of the body, but it is the root of the human body. A person’s gait if light this response to the person’s spirit is very good, if the gait is heavy, this response to the body is exhausted. Some of life’s minor problems, indeed, can be regulated from the foot, foot reflex zones is “the upper disease to take the next, a hundred diseases to treat the foot. The theoretical basis. But the picture looks too troublesome, we have organized the specific problems and corresponding location, including the basic needs of everyone: cough, dry eyes, lowering pressure, spleen and stomach problems, just do it.
