Today, we’re exploring a detox method that’s been a staple in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. The Chinese have long believed that our feet hold powerful energy zones connected to the body’s internal organs.
They thought that by cleansing our feet, we could flush out toxins from our entire body. This simple practice is said to boost overall health and improve how your body functions.
Curious about how to detox your body through your feet? Let’s dive into some easy methods!
