The Chinese believe that ageing begins with the feet,so if you are looking down at yours and think they look 20 years older than the rest of you then perhaps its' time to pay them a bit of attention!
Here are a few treats you can give your feet to stimulate the reflexology zones and the circulation - if you can't reach them yourself, ask a partner to do it and then swap places! Why not use a favourite body cream to enhance the effect?
toe squeezing!
A much neglected pastime in my opinion - get your toes one at a time,starting with the big toe,and give it a good squeeze all around the fleshy underside,and a pull and a wiggle.The toes all relate to the head and brain and you will probably find if you have a cold your toes will be VERY tender.If you have a headache your big toe might be sore along the inside-give it a good rub and feel yourself relaxing instantly.
lung relaxer and cough remedy
Do this excercise if you have a persistent cough - make a fist and push it into the top third of your foot underneath( under your toes from the ball of the foot across). Push this part of the foot whilst gripping it with the other hand and let your toes curl around your fist - this will stretch the top of the foot and stimulate the circulation. Now run your fingers down the outside of your big toe to the dip between the toe and the ball of your foot - If you have a cough you should find lots of lumps under the skin here - give them a good rub and a push and this will help to shift your cough.
constipation remedy –
this is easily done on the hands - it is amazing how reflexology can help if you have constipation or a tummy upset. Get a pen or pencil and hold it horizontally between you palms,then roll it between the fleshy pads under the thumbs. This again might be 'lumpy' especially the left thumb pad if you are constipated.
Last of all ,don't forget your poor tired heels - give them a really firm massage with your lovely cream and even use your knuckles to give them a treat!
