Abstract:
In this article, we review a recently published article to explore the significance of foot reflexology in modern medical practice. With the advancement of modern medicine, we are increasingly committed to finding the specific physiological mechanisms of foot reflexes to treat diseases, thereby better proving the therapy's effectiveness. It has been reported that foot reflexes can activate the cerebral cortex and organs corresponding to the feet, stimulating blood flow, nutrition and nerves through neural and endocrine regulation to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases and promoting health. The therapy shows unique potential and value, and provides a new perspective on integrating traditional medicine and modern medicine.
