Tired Feet
Mix two tablespoons each of camomile, peppermint, oatstraw, red clover, elderberry leaves, linden flowers, fennel, dock, rosehips and alfalfa in 1 quart cold water.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, cool and soak the feet for 10-15 minutes in the liquid.

Hot, Itchy Feet
Soak the feet for 15 minutes in warm water from boiled potatoes. Dry feet in a towel with sea salt or dulse powder sprinkled in it, then massage the feet with 2 tablespoons sesame or almond oil.

Using Acupressure, an ancient healing art can boost your energy and relieve your pain

 

Problem: Knee Pain

Solution:: Place a tennis ball on a pillow, then place your leg over it so the ball is pushing into the crease behind your knee.
Find the sensitive juswt below your kneecap and just to the outside of the shinbone. Press into it lightly
with your forefinger for about a minute. (If you have a knee injury, see your doctor.)

 

Problem : Muscle Cramps and Spasms due to intense activity

Solution: Use your heel to rub the junction between your big toe and second toe for 30 seconds, then repeat on other foot. This spot purportedly benefits the gall bladder and liver meridians, which can be damaged by too much exertion

Problem : Muscle or joint pain. Everyday headaches.

Solution: Squeeze the fleshy webbing on your hand, betwwen your thumb and index finger. Push your other thumb inward and upward towards your knuckles. Hold for one minute then repeat on the other hand.
(If pain occurs around the chest, arm, shoulder or neck, see a doctor.)

 

Problem : Low Stamina.

Solution: Find a spot called " the three mile point," located four finger-widths below the knee cap and one finger-width below the shinbone. Rub it briskly with the heel of the opposite leg for one minute, then repeat with other leg.

 

Problem : Physical Fatigue

Solution: For a quick pick me up, make a fist and rub the upper middle of the sole of the foot with the knuckle of your index finger. Continue for 30 seconds, then repeat with other foot.

 

Problem : Mental Fatigue.

Solution: With the tip of your index finger, press firmly into the groove between your nose and upper lip and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat every day for several weeks.

 

Problem : Sleep Deprivation.

Solution: Press your thumb against your wrist, just below the crease of your hand on the inner side. Hold for 60 seconds, then repeat the procedure on the other wrist. Do this an hour before bedtime and then again, just before nodding off.

 

 

 

Problem : Claim that Foot Pads remove toxic heavy metals from the body.

Solution: The reason foot pads turn dark color after treatment is because they contain wood vinegar which reacts to the sweat on the feet and causes these footpads to turn black. The claims are false and should be avoided. The only thing they remove is money from your wallet.
