DIY foot massager

There are many acupuncture points on the human feet that are directly connected to the organs of the human body. By influencing them you can improve your health. Massage is most suitable for these purposes. But not every person is familiar with the basics and correct techniques of the manual method. Therefore, for self-massage, the ideal option would be to use a massager. You don't have to buy it. This device can be assembled with your own hands.

How to make a massager with your own hands

You can make this thing at home from several available materials:

• stones are most suitable for this purpose;
• thick felt;
• cereals: beans, peas, millet;
• fruit seeds: plums, cherries, cherry plums and apricots;
• chestnuts;
• buttons;
• pieces of wood.

From the list of materials, you can choose any option you like.

From stones

This variation is the most widely used, but in its creation a number of conditions must be observed. Round or oval shaped material should be used. Pebbles work great - they should be the same size. Having selected the required number of pebbles, you need to wash them with soapy water and, preferably, heat them. This will ensure the destruction of bacteria and make them safe for health. Next you need to do the following:

1. Prepare a rectangular piece of base. It is better to use soft rubber or matting of a suitable size.
2. Glue the prepared pebbles onto the base.
3. When all the material is placed on the base, press it down using a flat board or piece of plywood and press down with a weight.
4. Leave the product for a couple of days to dry completely.

REFERENCE! Another method is suitable for craftswomen who know how to sew. To make a massager, you need to sew a bag of the required size. Place pebbles inside and quilt the bag so that each pebble is in its own pocket. Please note that with this method, the bottom layer of the base should be much thicker than the top.

For children

To massage children's feet, it is best to make a massage track. It will consist of several sections filled with elements of different sizes. In an example it would look like this:

• base section with sewn buttons;
• a plot full of beans;
• section with peas;
• a plot filled with millet;
• section with soft filler.

Walking along such a path, the child’s feet will receive a different massage effect. Not to mention the fact that such a “home attraction” will definitely appeal to little fidgets.
