Part 1. of a three part series
Its roots can be traced back to ancient India where Jivaka Komarabhacca, a physician, who was a friend and contemporary of Lord Buddha, established the techniques, that are still used to this day, some 2,500 years ago. Learning the basic steps can help you to cure yourself should you have any injury or pain, either externally or within.
- Wash the feet thoroughly and adopt a comfortable position that allows you to reach all parts of your foot.
- Anoint the feet with a skin lotion for lubrication when carrying out the massage.
- Start to push firmly at the base of the 4th toe. The nerve in this location links directly to the heart. Pain when you push in this spot means that there is a problem with the heart and lengthy yet gentle massage will ease the pain and improve the health of the heart.
- Pressing at the base of the second toe will stimulate the nerve controlling the lungs and the entire bronchial system that are necessary for breathing.
- In between the first and second toes are the nerves that influence the head. If you have a headache, pressure between these toes will soon make the ache pass or may prevent headaches altogether.
