Imagine if you gently lift your foot, pull your toes outward, or lift your toes slightly. Can you feel a tough, string like tissue in the center of your feet? This is what we call 'earth tendons'. Although inconspicuous, it is like the vitality surging deep in the earth, connecting our bodies with the mysteries of nature.


In the ancient Chinese medical classic "Huangdi Neijing", there is a brilliant statement: "The liver governs the tendons, which are manifested in the claws and open the orifices in the eyes." The "tendons" here not only refer to the visible tendons or meridians to the naked eye, but also encompass the underground tendons hidden deep in the soles of the feet. The importance of tendons, as the "invisible channel" for the operation of liver qi, is self-evident. It is not only a key node in the circulation of liver qi, but also an important hub for maintaining the balance of qi and blood throughout the body.

PressThe role of ground reinforcement
1. Promote blood circulation
The tendon is located on the sole of the foot. By massaging the tendon, it can effectively clear the meridians and promote blood circulation. The liver controls the blood, and the tendons are closely related to the liver. Therefore, massaging tendons can promote blood circulation and nourish blood, relieve various symptoms caused by liver blood stasis, such as dull complexion, skin spots, chest pain, etc. Long term adherence to massaging the tendons can help improve overall blood circulation, enhance blood supply and nutrient delivery to various parts of the body.

2. Soothing the liver and regulating qi

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the liver is responsible for regulating emotions and promoting the smooth flow of qi. By massaging the tendons, it can have the effect of soothing the liver and regulating qi, which has a positive effect on regulating emotional abnormalities caused by liver qi stagnation (such as anxiety, depression, etc.), breast hyperplasia, thyroid nodules, and uterine fibroids. Massaging tendons can relieve pressure on the liver, promote normal liver function, and maintain harmony and balance in the body.

3. Nourish and protect the liver

The relationship between tendons and the liver is closely related, and there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that 'the liver governs the tendons'. Regular massage of the tendons can help nourish and protect the liver. It can not only prevent and treat common liver diseases such as liver pain, hepatitis, liver fibrosis, but also improve the liver's detoxification ability and metabolic function. This helps the liver to better eliminate toxins and waste from the body, maintaining overall health.

How to massage?

The "ground muscle" of the human body runs along the liver meridian of the feet, in the depression of the sole. When the sole of the foot is facing oneself and the toes are turned up, a hard muscle emerges from the sole of the foot, which is called the "ground muscle".

The method is not complicated, the key lies in meticulousness and patience.
1. Soak your feet to relax
Before massaging the floor muscles, why not enjoy a warm soak time. Soak your feet in warm water for fifteen to twenty minutes before nine o'clock in the evening. Soaking feet at this time not only promotes blood circulation in the feet, but also helps the body relax and prepare for the upcoming massage.

2. Search for geobars
After soaking your feet, dry them with a clean towel, especially in the area where the floor muscles are located. Then, gently lift one foot and place it on the knee of the other leg to more clearly touch the ground muscles. The tendon is usually located on the inner side of the center of the foot, and when you gently press it with your hand, you will feel a tough and slightly elastic touch.

3. Massage techniques
Use your thumb or kneeling finger to push and press along the path of the tendon from the inside out. During the massage process, there may be some pain or sensitive points, which is a normal phenomenon. When encountering these points, you can slightly reduce the intensity or pause for a few seconds before continuing the massage. Pay attention to maintaining smooth breathing and allowing the body to relax naturally.

4. Perseverance
It is advisable to control the duration of each massage at around 10-15 minutes. As the massage deepens, you will gradually feel a warm current rising from your feet, as if there is a surge of vitality surging. This is precisely the manifestation of the activation of qi and blood in the body and the acceleration of blood circulation. When you feel a heat on the soles of your feet or a noticeable relief in the tendon area, you can end the massage. Remember to switch to the other foot and perform the same operation!

To enhance the massage effect, add some essential oils or massage cream during the massage process. These auxiliary tools not only reduce the discomfort caused by friction, but also make the massage process more comfortable and enjoyable.
