Chinese Reflexology Point for the Throat

The throat reflexology point is very easy to find. It’s located at the tip of the webbing between your big toe and second toe. You’ve got a throat point on both of your feet.

To massage this point, use the knuckle of your index finger to press into this point with a digging and twisting motion. You’ll press and rotate at your wrist as if you’re twisting a door knob back and forth or turning a key in a lock.

It’s important to find the right amount of pressure without pressing too hard. The tops of your feet are much more sensitive than the soles of your feet.  You definitely don’t want to press so hard that you cause bruising as this is counterproductive and can negatively affect your body’s Qi in the throat area. Twist in both directions for about 20 to 30 seconds depending on your symptoms (more time if your throat is very scratchy, less time if it’s not as scratchy). Repeat for the throat point on your other foot.
