In the world of health, massage is an effort to prevent and treat various diseases. Ordinary massage is done by hand or with the help of a tool. This is done so that the nerve node points so that blood circulation returns smoothly and increases the body's immune power so that it can eliminate various diseases.
Have you ever walked with bare feet on a stretch of oval-shaped small stone? Do you remember how it feels?
If you do that, everyone might feel the same way, which is the feeling of freshness when the rocks push against your feet. Feeling relaxed and refreshed immediately burst into the whole body. How could this happen?
As said traditional medicine expert Prof. Hembing Wijayakusuma, the pressure of the stones on the soles of the feet provides bioelectric stimulation to the organs of the body that are related to the nerve points of the feet.
"Bioelectric stimulation facilitates blood flow so the body becomes refreshed."
Although efficacious, but barefoot on a stretch of rock with blunt character is not always easy to do. This is because the expanse of rocks as it was sometimes difficult to find. Even if there is a stretch of rock, it is often tucked into two sharp shaped stones that can hurt the foot.
Foot reflexology therapy can provide a relaxing effect similar to when walking on rocks. Massage on the soles of the feet will provide stimuli that can facilitate blood flow and body fluids. As a result, the circulation of nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body becomes smooth without the slightest obstacle.
Furthermore, the smooth circulation of blood flow will provide a relaxing and fresh effect on all members of the body. "The body experiences a balance condition," explained the professor who has written about 70 of these books.
The core therapy of foot reflexology, according to Hembing, lies in the activation of the reflexes in the feet that are associated with other body parts. To note, human feet have nerve points that are associated with other body organs. "Well, the way the foot reflexology therapy works is to provide relaxation stimuli to the body parts that are associated with the nerve points of the foot being massaged."
Therefore, understanding the nerve nodes in the soles of the feet is very important. The location of nerve points in the foot must be known well and correctly. For example, the position of the leg nerve that connects the right forehead is at the fingertip of the left foot. While the nerve point of the leg that connects the bladder organ is on both sides of the foot.
Still according to Hembing, every organ of the body has connection with nerve points found on the soles of the feet. The heart, lungs, stomach, and liver have their own nerve points on the soles of the feet. Likewise with other body parts. There are 36 nerve points on the soles of the feet, each of which connects certain body parts.
In addition to understanding nerve nodes on the soles of the feet, the success of foot reflexology therapy is also determined by massage techniques. There are various kinds of ways to massage the nerve points of the soles of the feet. Emphasis can be done by bending the middle and index fingers, while the other fingers clench hard. In this technique, the emphasis point is on the middle finger and the middle joint of the index finger.
Knowledge of the soles of the nerves of the feet and the correct massage techniques have not been enough to guarantee the success of this therapy. There are several other things that also need attention. "The condition of the therapy room must be considered," said the man who sat in the senate of the professor of the University of Bung Karno (UBK).
This therapy should be done in a room that is clean, comfortable, quiet, and has good air circulation. This condition can help patients be more calm and comfortable. In addition, the time for giving therapy must also be considered, which is about 30 minutes, with a frequency of 3-6 days to prevent disease, and once every 2-3 days to overcome disease disorders. The condition of the patient's foot was not in a state of injury.
It must also be remembered, foot reflexology therapy must be carried out thoroughly. That is, massage is not only at one specific nerve point of the foot. The process of handling a ringing ear case, for example, does not only suppress the nerve point of the foot associated with the ear. Massage of the soles of the feet of the feet associated with head, kidney, and lymph nodes must also be done. "All the organs are related to the ear organ," Hembing said.
"Are these therapies have side effects? Hembing emphasized, this therapy does not have side effects as long as it is done well and according to instructions "
It is true that even if it does not directly treat the immediate cause of a disease, reflexology therapy can help overcome various health problems, such as headaches, depression, pre-menstrual syndrome, asthma, digestive disorders, skin diseases, and arthritis. Certain points in the palm area 70 feet, according to the reflexology theory, are closely related to all organs of the body, such as the intestine, stomach, liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, and heart.
The tips of the toes, for example, are related to the head and neck. Place your upper leg with your chest and lungs. The sole of the foot with the head, neck and internal organs. And heels with nerves and pelvis. So, if there are disorders in certain organs, massage (massage) at points associated with these organs will cause pain.
Reflexology can be done by pressing the reflection points in the foot area using hands or aids. You do this by pressing the index finger bent at these points. The tool used is a kind of small stick to press. To make it easier, usually the part of the foot to be massaged is lubricated with lotion or oil first. At first the feet will be massaged usually like other massage movements. As far as the feet are massaged, then the reflexology therapist begins to suppress reflex points associated with perceived health problems. First the left leg is massaged, then the right foot, with the upward direction towards the heart, following the bloodstream. All that takes about 30 to 60 minutes, with a frequency of once a week at the beginning of therapy.
After a few weeks the frequency can be reduced. This therapy alone can be done for everyone. Usually, after the first or second meeting, the body will feel relaxed or feel tired or nauseous. Keep in mind, choose an experienced therapist, as much as possible a doctor. Because, doctors certainly know more about the areas through which blood vessels need to be avoided. In addition, to be effective, this therapy also needs to be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle and exercise to maintain body condition.
