The Amazing Effects of Regular Finger Massage

The Palm Corresponds to Various Organs, Active Fingers Activate the Brain
Physiologists have found that every organ and even every muscle in the human body has its own representative area in the cerebral cortex, which governs its nerve center. Among them, the finger movement center in the cerebral cortex has the widest area. The movement area of the thumb alone in the cerebral cortex is equivalent to 10 times that of the entire thigh movement area. Stimulating the brain through finger activity can effectively slow down the aging process of brain cells.
Thumb pain may indicate a problem with the lungs, pain in the index finger may indicate a problem with the large intestine, and pain in the ring finger may indicate a sore throat or headache... Fingers can tell us a lot about our health. In daily life, observing the nails and fingers can quickly predict the body's condition.
