Welcome to the sixty-third day of our second volume of this series. We just completed a rather serious series and now we want to have fun. According Western physiology massaging any part of the body increases the blood flow to that part. There are many nerve endings at the souls of the feet and when these are stimulated by massage the send signals to the brain. The human feet are evolved to be used bare without the constraint of sox and shoes.
Primitive humans walk many miles a day.
We restrain our feet in often uncomfortable but fashionable shoes and do not move around. Thus at night when we get home our feet need the blood flow restored through massage. According to many Eastern systems of healing the feet are full of meridians which may be stimulated through pressing pressure point. This is called reflexology. Another way of stimulating the meridians is through acupuncture.
