Massage for about five minutes.

　　3. Rub Yongquan point

　　Yongquan point is located in the depression equally divided between the front 1/3 and the back 2/3 of the sole of the foot.

Apply your hand to the skin of the sole of the foot and rub it back and forth 100 times each time. It is better to heat the sole of the foot.
