People like foot massage. Is it really amazing?

In China, apart from the dazzling array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and hotels, the word "foot bath" may appear on billboards more frequently when going out shopping. Indeed, foot bath is quite popular in China. Bian Xiao has never been there before. I thought it was the kind with special service. Having been there twice, she felt very formal and a little disappointed. Haha, just kidding.

In fact, foot bath came from abroad. I don't know what foreign countries think about foot bath, but most people in China are also influenced by Chinese medicine because there are many acupoints on their feet. Going to the foot bath shop to soak your feet, pinch your feet and pull out a cupping is actually a physical therapy process. Especially after a busy week, it is very comfortable to go to wash at the weekend. "The dead root of the tree dies first, and the old foot declines first." The withering and death of a plant must be due to problems in the roots, and a person's aging is also manifested in the feet, so it is very important to maintain the feet.

The above are some common foot health care methods, but one thing must be clear: foot massage is not everything. Some diseases cannot be treated with drugs instead. The relaxing effect of shampooing is completely achievable, but you can't think about what diseases can be cured by shampooing. Don't be superstitious.
