Features: Foot medicine is a fitness method created by Mr. Takashi Sasaki of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, through years of research and practice. This fitness method promotes blood circulation through rubbing and massaging the feet, enhancing the body's self-healing and immune capabilities, and helping to alleviate the of diseases. The feet contain numerous acupoints and reflex zones, which is why they are often referred to as the "second heart." Acupoint theory originates from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has a history of 4,000 years. TCM theory was introduced to Japan long ago, and foot acupoint massage is part of ancient TCM. Meanwhile, the theory of foot reflex zones is a result of research by renowned medical scholars from the United States and Germany, based on Western medical theories and methods. Although massaging the feet can promote health, many people are unclear about how to do it effectively, as well as the techniques, timing, and intensity of the massage. The writing method of this book is designed so that even those completely unfamiliar with foot massage can effectively improve their health by following the diagrams and instructions provided. Massaging the feet may cause some pain. Those who have never massaged their feet before may experience more intense pain. However, as long as you persist with the massage, the results will become evident. Chronic patients and those who rely on medication daily can also try it. Foot massage is an excellent and accessible medical method for everyone to improve their health.
