✅ What can be true:
Foot massage (with or without oil) does have real benefits:
- Improves blood circulation
- Helps you relax and sleep better
- Reduces stress and tension
- Can ease foot and muscle pain
- Gives a general feeling of well-being
So yes—doing it before bed can feel very good and may help you sleep more deeply.
❌ What’s not scientifically proven:
The idea shown in the image—that:
- pressing specific spots on the foot directly heals organs (brain, liver, heart, etc.)
- or prevents diseases completely
👉 This is not supported by strong scientific evidence.
Reflexology is considered a complementary therapy, not a medical treatment.
🤔 About the Story (87-year-old grandfather)
Stories like this are inspiring, but they don’t prove cause and effect.
His good health could be due to:
- genetics
- lifestyle (diet, movement)
- low stress
- overall habits
The foot massage may have helped him relax—but it’s unlikely to be the only reason.
