The part of the body considered the second heart, take good care of it and you won’t need to see a doctor

The feet are often overlooked, but they are known as the ‘second heart of the body.’ Taking good care of your feet means taking good care of your health.

Winter is the time when parts of the body like the feet, neck, and chest need careful care and protection. Chinese medicine has a saying, ‘All diseases start from the cold, and cold originates from the feet.’

Among the 12 meridians connecting the internal organs of the human body, half start and end at the feet. There are more than 60 meridians and acupuncture points in the feet.

The feet have a direct and intimate connection with important organs in the body such as the kidneys, spleen, liver, stomach, and bladder through the meridians distributed in the feet. Therefore, the feet are considered the second heart of the body, protecting the feet means protecting the entire body.

The furthest place from the heart is the feet, where blood supply is relatively poor. Blood also carries less heat, and the fat layer of the feet is thin, making them less capable of withstanding the cold, thus making them easily cold.

If your feet are cold, you will be prone to respiratory and digestive diseases such as colds, coughs, respiratory infections, and stomach pain with diarrhea.

Foot care methods

You should apply some suitable methods to take care of and keep your feet warm below.

Regularly exercise and massage the feet

The purpose of this action is not only to help the feet relax and reduce fatigue but also to improve blood circulation, thereby enhancing the body’s resistance.

It has a certain supportive effect in the treatment of long-term chronic diseases that cannot be cured and diseases that have no effective medical treatment.

Foot massage helps warm the feet naturally, unblocking the meridians and joints in the feet.

Soak your feet in warm water or herbal solutions

You can soak your feet every evening before going to bed. Modern medicine believes that warm water can dilate blood vessels in the feet and stimulate nerve endings. This promotes blood circulation throughout the body, regulates the functions of organs, and enhances metabolism.

Additionally, you can use your fingers to massage the Yongquan acupoint and the muscles of your feet while soaking them in warm water. This helps generate yang energy, boost vitality for the foot muscles, and provides a whole-body relaxation experience.

The method is to soak your feet in warm water at about 38 to 40 degrees Celsius before going to bed (the water temperature should be 40-45 degrees in winter), and massage your feet while soaking.

To maintain the water temperature, you can gradually add an appropriate amount of hot water. Avoid soaking your feet in water that is too hot or too cold.

After soaking your feet, dry them with a towel and use your fingers to massage the acupoints on the soles of your feet. When massaging these points, apply moderate pressure and avoid pressing too hard.
