5. Supports Overall Health
Reflexology points in your feet are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body. Regular foot massages may indirectly support digestion, circulation, and hormone balance.
How to Massage Your Feet Before Bed
Soak and Relax: Start with a warm foot bath for 5–10 minutes to relax muscles and soften skin.
Apply Oil or Lotion: Use a small amount of coconut, olive, or massage oil for smooth strokes.
Start at the Heels: Gently press and knead the heel and arch using thumbs in circular motions.
Massage the Toes: Rub each toe individually, stretching lightly at the joints.
Focus on the Arch: Apply gentle pressure along the arch, using thumbs or knuckles.
Finish with the Top of the Foot: Lightly stroke from toes to ankle to stimulate circulation.
