Foot reflexology
A visit to a foot reflexology center in Malaysia:
” Last weekend, I tagged along with a colleague to get my feet massaged for the first time at Happy Feet Foot Reflexology centre.
The dimly lit room accommodated more than 20 reclining chairs and I took a corner seat next to my colleague.
The foot reflexologist assigned to massage my feet then came with warm towels and a tray of foot powder, lotion and oils.
My feet were cleaned with the warm towels before Fung Tow Lan wrapped my right foot with a towel and began spreading lotion on my left foot.
At first, I felt ticklish when the massaging lotion was evenly spread on my foot.
He then began rubbing the sole of my foot and when it came to certain points, it was extremely painful and Fung glanced at me and asked, “You have a sweet tooth, right?”
I could only nod in agreement as I thought of my fondness for cakes and pastries.
But how did he know?
He explained that there were certain formations on the foot soles, which can be felt when he massaged it that indicated the conditions of one’s health.
“We are not doctors but we are like messengers telling our customers which area of their body that they should pay more attention to,” said the 57-year-old.
Relaxed moments: I enjoy Fung’s attention on my feet, and he surprises me with revelations about my health.
He advised me on the dangers of diabetes and how I could prevent it at a young age.
The massage went on to my toes which he said I was a person who had enough sleep which he thought was a good sign.
I also did not tell Fung that I was down with flu but he managed to find out that my nose was giving me some problems and that I should take more fruits.
Besides that, Fung, who is a keen student of Chinese herbs, also gave advice on what herbs I could try. For instance, he recommended a cup of warm water with red dates as an excellent source of vitamin C. “
