Easy Foot Massage Techniques To Stimulate Weight Loss

351 shares

Activate body’s self-healing power with Foot Massage. To lose weight with foot massage, you need to massage the foot’s thyroid gland and pancreas areas. 

The body is a complete circuit and all parts interrelated. There are nerves and lymph connections from one end to the other. Reflexology uses hand and foot massage to stimulate or unblock these energy levels.

It does not heal the body but allows the body to heal itself by unbinding the energy levels or sending a message to the brain to trigger the release of body chemicals or movements that will help a particular area.

Some People Seem to Have All the Luck When It Comes to Weight Loss

Excess weight occurs for some reasons. Some people never have the problem. It is not because of what they eat or how much they eat, but often because of how well their body burn the calories or eliminate the waste. That is where muscle massage can help.

By massaging specific areas of the hands and feet, you will create a trigger to increase the effectiveness of the organs responsible for weight loss, such as the thyroid gland.


It Takes Only Minutes and Is Easy to Do Anywhere

Of course, you would not want to do a foot massage in the middle of a fancy dinner, but you could do a massage on your hand without anyone being the wiser.

These simple techniques can be done anywhere and don’t require any time out from your schedule. Once you learn them, you can do them while listening at a meeting, riding to work or watching television.


Foot Pressure Can Stimulate the Thyroid, Stomach, Colon, Kidneys and Bladder

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain a few pounds, using this ancient practice of stimulating the feet can help reduce stress and improve your overall health and wellbeing. It does so by regulating your metabolism and helping control your appetite.

If you have battled with weight for any length of time, you know your thyroid gland plays a significant role in how fast you burn calories. A sluggish thyroid makes it far harder to lose weight. You can stimulate the thyroid gland through massage on the foot at the ball area.

However, you should not stop at that point, because other important pressure points also play a role in weight loss. The stomach, kidneys, colon and bladder help with elimination to get rid of toxins and also make weight loss faster and easier.


Massaging the Hands Is the Easiest Part

Just like your feet, the hands have pressure points that stimulate the organs and send messages to the brain for help. Unlike the feet, you can massage your hands almost any time, anywhere.

You will improve your digestion and elimination to help remove toxins, including those in the liver. You will also be boosting your thyroid in the process.


Reflexology Doesn’t Replace a Healthy Diet

Reflexology doesn’t replace a healthy diet and regular exercise but boosts the effectiveness. You still won’t lose weight if you aren’t eating healthy and eating too many calories, but this simple technique can be a great boost to any weight loss program.

I particularly love the feeling of the massage for the thyroid that works in the area between the thumb and first finger, that little V formed in the connection of the two.

It feels fantastic, particularly after a day of typing. Even if I were not using reflexology to jump start my weight loss, I would continue the hand and foot massage, since they are so relaxing.

Tip: To help clear away toxic substances in our body, it’s essential to drink plenty of warm water after the massage.


How to Give a Foot Massage:

Step 1

Find the Thyroid Gland


https://res.cloudinary.com/calleigh1224/video/upload/v1559594781/Thyroid_Gland_Point_x6tu2j.mp4

① The first area to do the massage is the Thyroid Gland which is the fleshy area of the ball of the foot. Press that part and do some small circle massage with your thumb.

The Thyroid is an endocrine gland that can help with weight issue.

Just focus on this area and you can go neither in opposite direction. And you can hold it with firm pressure right in the ball of the foot.

Step 2

The Stomach Glands

② Next, move to the area of the stomach which is about right in the center of the foot. It comes in an oval shape over to the inner arch right in the center of the foot.

You need to apply firm pressure, pressing here is actually the fat thing of the stomach area. This helps with digestion and any stomach issues that you might have.

Then moving down a little bit in the center of the foot is the reflex area to the colon as well as the bladder and the kidney.

So, if you press right on that spot, you’re working on the entire area which helps with processing and elimination. And that could really help with weight loss.

A reflexology is based on the idea that every part of the body is connected through nerves, your hands, feet and ears.

So, by pressing this point on each foot, you’re actually affecting the part of the body and clearing the energy pathway.


Step 3

Colon, Bladder and Kidney Points

③ Down a little at the center of the foot, is the reflex area to the colon, as well as the bladder and the kidney. So when you press these points, you’re working with entire areas which help with processing and elimination that could really help with weight loss.

Press firmly and apply pressure when doing circle massage.  This is the area for the colon, bladder and kidneys. So, by pressing this point on each foot, you’re actually affecting the part of the body and clearing the energy pathway.

A reflexology is based on the idea that every part of the body is connected through nerves, your hands, feet and ears.

Once you’ve done this technique on one foot, you can switch to the other foot.


Step 4

Hand ReflexologyYou can do this hand reflexology massage anywhere, like sitting on a chair, or driving even while watching TV. This is so relaxing.


Area to the Thyroid

④ Take one thumb and place it on the fleshy part just below your thumb.  This is the reflex area to the Thyroid.

You need a firm press pressure and make small circles. You can go on one direction about 5 seconds and then switch direction. Repeat as Needed.


Step 5

Area to the Stomach, Colon, Bladder and Kidney

⑤ Then, let’s move to the reflex area to the stomach. Just right halfway between the index finger & the thumb finger.

And right this V area of the palm, make small circles with your thumb. Again apply firm pressure, moving down all the way around the V area.

We are working on the stomach, and then slowly moving into the center and lower part of the palm. Make small circles or you can go in different direction.

This is the area to the colon,  the small intestines, the bladder and the kidney. This will help with the elimination and digestion, getting all toxins out of your body.

Step 6

Area to the Liver

⑥ Now, go to the side area of the palm and press firmly in circles.  This is the reflex area to the liver. Pressing this point can help with detoxification.

After you’ve done this, you can switch to the other hand and do the same process.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
