What do you know about Reflexology??

Reflexology is the use of special techniques to break up and remove blockages in the body and restore proper circulation of blood in any given area it involves the application of manual pressure to specific points or areas of the feet and hands called "reflex points" that are believed to correspond to other parts of the body.

Reflexology is often used with the intention to relieve stress, prevent/treat physical disorders and tension in the body through the hands and feet. There are reflexes in the hands and feet that correspond to glands, organs and other parts of the body. Pressure may also be applied to the ears. It is a wonderfully simple form of natural, complimentary, and holistic healing.
Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology has short and long term benefits. Immediately after a session of reflexology relaxation and a release of stress and tension are apparent benefits. More long term benefits have been reported as reduced pain from migraines, constipation, neck and back problems, reduced PMS symptoms, increased circulation and an improved immune system.

The focus of Reflexology is on the feet and hands where the nerve endings are located. Check out the reflexology chart above. The feet and hands mirror the entire body and every organ and body part can be found in them.

Reflexology has been used since ancient times and is now starting to get the recognition it deserves. It seems that everyone loves to have their feet and hands rubbed!

A Reflexology session is extremely relaxing and stimulating. Since the feet and/or hands are the only areas being addressed, there is never any need for removal of clothing. The client is always made comfortable. A session usually lasts about 30 minutes, and some reflexologists offer an optional soothing foot bath at the beginning. Some manicurist will offer a 5 to 10 minute mini session with a manicure and or a pedicure.

Reflexology can be used as a self healing art as well. It can be used to balance emotions, restore circulation throughout the physical body, and increase spiritual awareness. While increasing circulation in the brain, it can improve concentration and the ability to meditate. Reflexology can relieve insomnia and help in lowering blood pressure.
It is amazing how much power we hold in our own hands
