The foot has over 200,000 nerve endings. They are designed to touch the ground.
You may want to consider gardening while you are barefoot. You will help stretch and strengthen the tendons in your legs and feet. You will also strengthen the small muscles in your foot. Additionally, you can improve your natural gait by going barefooted.
Barefoot gardens are not new. In fact, Europeans have dozens of barefoot gardens. The Barfußpfad is one of the barefoot gardens in Germany. It is two-mile garden that has grass, sand, stones and mud.
There are also things that you can do in order to get your own barefoot garden. You will need to put durable plants in your garden. Irish Moss, perennials and creeping groundcovers are some of the plants that you can put in your garden.
You should also avoid putting fir bar mulch and sharp gravel in your garden. Chinese reflexology has been around long before barefoot gardens. This is a practice where a massage therapist stimulates the pressure points on the feet.
Barefooted gardening can have the same benefits as reflexology. In many Asian countries, there are reflexology paths. These areas can be found in private gardens, parks and resorts.
