Balance Your Body from the Ground Up: Foot Reflexology in Traditional Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your feet are more than just a foundation—they’re a reflection of your entire body. Foot reflexology is a powerful practice rooted in the ancient belief that stimulating specific points on the feet can influence organs, energy flow, and overall health.

According to TCM, energy—known as Qi—flows through pathways called meridians. These meridians connect to vital organs and systems. Six major meridians run through the feet, linking directly to organs like the liver, kidneys, stomach, and bladder. When Qi flows freely, your body thrives. When it stagnates, imbalance and illness can occur.

🌿 Why Foot Reflexology?

By gently pressing on reflex points along the feet, you can:

• Release tension and reduce stress

• Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage

• Clear energetic blockages

• Promote self-healing and organ function

• Support your body’s natural rhythm in alignment with the Five Elements Theory

Each part of the foot maps to a corresponding part of the body. The inner foot relates to yin organs (like the liver and kidneys), while the outer foot connects to yang organs (such as the stomach and gallbladder). Reflexology honors this balance, working to harmonize both sides.
