Feet
Let us walk with the good feet.
- Feet need care -
 The constraint of the shoes makes that our feet are badly treated and
without ventilation. The care is wrongly often neglected. To take care of them, it's
necessary:

As soon as possible, go naked feet. The shoes prevent our feet from breathing and support the appearance of calluses and perspiration.

marks.

When we have dry skin it cracks and scales itself. It is then necessary to get nutritive elements to it and hydrate each day with a specific cream. Certain
essential oils are excellent.
To muscle its feet

very stable. It gets exercise and a natural massage of the arch of each foot.
To stop perspiration

and germs. If you go to the swimming pool or to take a shower in a public place, never walk naked feet to avoid catching warts or mycoses.

after the shower or the bath.
Don't hesitate to change pair of socks and inner sole, if one often practises walks or races. This remark is also valid when you wear shoes for a long time. Buy several pairs
of shoes and make a rotation in order not to carry several days the same pair of shoes. Also do not wear the same pair of shoes of
sport, for the city and training.
Never carry new shoes if you must make a long walk or a race. The shoes must be either mechanically softened as a
preliminary or by a regular use.
Plantar Reflexology
The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to man for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian peoples...
It is a technique of stimulation of the "reflex points" and of massage which existed for 2500 years before J.-C.
Our feet are rich in nervous terminations and they allow a massage which relax and treat. In reflexology, the foot is the miniaturized representation of the
human body. At each "reflex point" corresponds a organ or part of the body.
Rythmées pressures applied to these zones reflexes make it possible to locate the tensions and to restore our balance, to release, activate circulation blood, and
lymphatic, to prevent, relieve, support the homéostasie.
Today, many reflexologists have come up with other explanations for the therapy's effect. Some say that manipulation of the feet reduces the amount of lactic acid in
the tissues while releasing tiny calcium crystals, accumulated in the nerve endings of the feet, that hold back the free flow of energy to corresponding organs. Others
speculate that pressure on the reflex points may trigger the release of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that naturally block pain. Some practitioners ascribe the
therapy's benefits to a relaxation response that opens the blood vessels and improves circulation. Others credit a detoxifying effect, suggesting that manipulation
dissolves crystals of uric acid that settle in the feet.
Chiropody
The nails of the feet are thick, are desiccated, low in water and lipid. They must be the subject of specific care by specialists or sometimes to be well protected and looked after, because the nails can incarner.
To cut and polish regularly its nails, to push back the white skins which border the nails.
