How to do:
1. Rub the soles of the foot with the hands before getting up in the morning and
going to bed at night. Keeping yourself warm, rub the soles of your feet 100
times each, for about two minutes. Alternatively, you can rub and knead the
right sole with your left heel and rub and knead the left sole with right heel,
100 times each. Then rub the toes with some force, not just back and forth.
2. Massage the head and neck, starting by pushing and massaging the head
from the forehead backward to the bottom of the skull behind the head. Then
turn the palms up and use the outer sides of the small fingers to push and
massage from the ear downward the small of the neck, stimulating the Fengshi
acupuncture points.
You can do the exercises in either order. You should feel relaxed in both
the head and body. It has been shown that the blood pressure is usually reduced
by 10-20 mm after these exercises and the benefit will last four to five hours. To
consolidate the curative effect, massage the head and neck anytime you wish.
