The feet are a perfect map of the whole body. Every organ, gland and body part is represented in the foot and laid out in the same arrangement as in the body.

Other parts of the body also exhibit these same correspondences, these are the hand, ear and even the iris. The foot is the easiest to work with because the points are more spread out and accessible.

The feet are the part of the body which is the farthest from the heart and it is where circulation tends to stagnate. This is why people with chronically bad circulation often have tender or swollen feet. It is good to stimulate and encourage blood flow to these extremities. Also gravity pulls toxins downwards and organic waste matter, such as uric acid and calcium crystals, build up in the bottoms of the feet.

We owe it to our feet to do something good for them as
they are the part of the body which takes the most wear
and beatings. They have to bear our weight, they
are under considerable tension and we cram them into
shoes that don't always fit.

 

Do your feet a favour
