Flaking
Skin : In Chinese medicine, the skin represents your
reaction to life. If foot skin is flaky, you are not looking after yourself.
You’re pushing yourself too hard. Flaky skin also indicates you need more love
in your life.
Dark patches of skin on the Toe Pads : This
can indicate depression; depressed people tend to walk on the front of their
feet, pushing their weight forwards.
Ridged Nails : If your toe nails are
vertically ridged, you may have a problem with your digestive and metabolic
system. Try eating healthily. Horizontal ridges indicate very high stress
levels.
Bunions : When I see a bunion I see someone who is
running themselves ragged for others. Stop, and think about yourself for a
change.
Calluses on the Ball of the Foot : The
ball of the foot is associated with shoulders. A callus here indicates someone
with bad posture. Perhaps you’re exhausted or shouldering too much
responsibility.
Patches of Dark Red or Purple color :
Darkened areas of skin indicate deep hurt. Patches of purple or red on feet
point towards an emotional wound. If your feet are paler than the rest of your
body, your circulation is weak.
Swelling under the Ball of Foot : The
central area underneath the ball of the foot represents the stomach and liver.
If there are swellings here, you should cut back on alcohol and fatty food.
Soft spongy area around the Achilles Tendon : A
squashy, spongy area around the Achilles tendon on the heel indicates fertility
problems. Cutting back on caffeine and increasing the amount of water you drink
will help.
Cracked Heels : Poor digestion, excess heat
produced in body which is not balanced.
Should avoid spicy and fried food. Should always cover feet
with socks and shoes..
