Feet are the mirror of health
Methods of foot massage were known not only in the East. Native Americans also knew about foot massage. Perhaps that is why they interested Dr. William Fitzgerald. He was one of those who stood at the origins of modern reflexology.
Fitzgerald noticed that applying pressure during massage to a specific part of the body improves the condition of internal organs. In addition, it reduces pain.
The fact is that each vital organ is projected onto a strictly defined part of the soles of the feet. Therefore, if you reflexively influence these projection points, you can ultimately improve the work and function of certain organs.
Thus. Reflexology treats the foot as a map of the entire body.

Why "Second Heart"
Because the heart does a gigantic job. Our pump pumps blood through every capillary, every organ and tissue of the body. As a result of circulation, the blood delivers oxygen. It takes metabolic products from the tissues and rushes back to the heart.
It is known that the veins of the upper and lower extremities play a large role in the outflow of blood. From the fingers to the shoulder, there are up to 20 special valves in the veins.
From the toes to the thigh - up to 25. The speed of venous blood flow and pressure largely depends on the tone, elasticity, thickness and patency of the venous walls. Veins pump 300 liters. at one o'clock. There are more than 100 billion capillaries in the human body. It must be said that their total length is 100,000 km.
If the veins have weak tone, for example, there are atherosclerotic plaques. This means the pressure on the walls of blood vessels increases. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult for the heart to pump blood. Veins become deformed.
As a result, varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, high blood pressure, heart failure, etc.
Eastern medicine believes that the feet are the “second heart” of a person. The soles of the feet close the “circle of life” - arterial and venous circulation.
