According to my wife’s description of her pain, I guessed it to be chronic appendicitis. Chinese medicine suggested that herbal medicine can be used to suppress the pain, but here in the united states, it’s impractical to gather the ingredients. Then I sought after foot reflexology. According to the theory, massaging the reflective area under the foot will help with the alleviation of symptoms. I had my wife to massage the reflective area of appendix in her foot every day. After about half a month, her pain in the lower right abdomen slowly faded away! Since then, my confidence in the effect of foot massage increased greatly, and I shared them with my customers.
So one should not dismiss foot reflexology as trivial. Sometimes it could help great deal in alleviating some serious pain. All that you really need is your hands. In China, using foot reflexology massage to alleviate pain is not something new or out of the norm, pain associated with many illness can be alleviated by a massage therapist.
The different parts of the body are reflected on the bottom of the foot, and the foot contains a lot of information about the body. Many illness would leave a mark in the foot. A foot reflexologist with lots of experience should be able to tell a person’s health status by massaging the foot, and even help heal a minor illness before it gets serious.
