Massage therapy is one of the greatest tools in the medical handbook. Putting pressure on the body can relieve tension in numerous ways. One of those ways is through what's called reflexology.
Essentially, the idea is that you can massage certain body parts, often hands and feet, and get a positive result with a different area of the body.
Massaging your feet in different places is linked to better health in different parts of the organs. Not only that, but it can lead to greater relaxation, less stress, and even greater sexual desire.
Massaging your feet also helps improve blood circulation, relieves numerous disease, helps maintain proper balance, has proven beneficial for restless legs syndrome, improves your sleep, reduces the effects of edema during pregnancy, and is great for your skin.
Massaging the big toe is good for your lungs and brain. The second, third and fourth toes are good for relieving tooth pain. The pinky toe is a great massage point for ear aches.
