Reflexology is a natural healing art thought to have originated in China and Egypt.
The earliest evidence of work on the reflexes of the hands and feet was in an Egyptian
of physician {approx.} 2,500 BC.
Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and in the hands
which correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. The technique of reflexology
involves using the thumb and fingers to apply pressure on these reflex points. By stimulating
more than 7,000 nerves during a treatment the reflexologist can generate the following benefits:
- Deep tranquil relaxation and stress relief
- Revitalize the body and supply it with energy on all levels
- Improve nerve transmission by encouraging the opening and clearing of neural pathways
- Increase blood circulation, supplying the body with fresh oxygenated blood, more nutrients and a more efficient elimination of waste products
- Balance, helping over and under active glands and organs to return to their normal functioning level.
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from
treatment. It is a totally safe therapy. Discomfort may be felt in some areas, indicating
congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body.
Treatment is suitable for all ages, and brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic
conditions. Once the body is in-tune, it is wise to have regular treatments in order to
maintain health and well-being. An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural
therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonizing the body.
