Today people are more and more recognizing the necessity and importance of foot bathing. It’s easy to do, effective, free of any side effect; it is becoming one of the best ways of health protection in our daily life. 

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, foot is the place where various meridians of body cluster. There are many acupuncture points there, with more than 60 below the ankle. This makes up one tenth of the total acupuncture points in our body; there are 38 important acupuncture points related to those main meridians like Yongquan Point, Chongyang Point and Shangqiu Point. Traditional Chinese medicine books and records describe foot bathing in the four seasons as follows: it can activate the yang-energy in spring, eliminate damp in summer, moisten intestines in autumn and warm the diaphragm (dantian) in winter.

Foot acts like a mirror of the body, in the sense that when certain apparatus catches disease or experiences dysfunction, relevant information will reflect in a corresponding foot area. There are 75 such corresponding foot areas for treatment.

For the reasons above, foot bathing with traditional Chinese medicine is taking the place of foot bathing in hot water only, and has become popular in China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and other countries or regions in Southeast Asia.
