2. Summer Cooling Massage Protocol
Summer heat can cause foot swelling and discomfort, making cooling massage techniques essential. Start with a cold water foot soak infused with cucumber slices and mint leaves to reduce inflammation and provide instant relief. After the soak, apply a cooling gel containing menthol and aloe vera, using long upward strokes from the toes to the ankles to reduce swelling. Focus on lymphatic drainage by gently pushing fluid toward the ankles. Pay special attention to pressure points, such as between the toes and along the outer edges of the foot, where heat-related stress often builds up. Conclude the massage by rolling a frozen water bottle along the arch of each foot for deep tissue relief and additional cooling comfort.
