What is Reflexology?
Reflexology For The Feet, Hands And Ears
For Health:
Reflexology is a system of reflexes. There is a map of the body on the feet, hands and ears. Working with finger, thumb and hand techniques on the reflex points that correspond to all body parts, relieves stress, induces deep relaxation, increases circulation of the entire body and helps you feel better. Everyone responds differently. Some of my clients find it helps their health condition dramatically, others that it helps keep their condition controlled while receiving regular reflexology sessions, and still others find it relaxing though it doesn't seem to help their condition. I often hear a client say they feel "in sync again" or feel "balanced" after a session.
Research shows that reflexology helps relieve pain, stress, insomnia, post traumatic stress syndrome (effects wear off after 3 days), kidney stones (pain relief, also excretion was faster), migraine, kidney function improvement, infertility, gout, headaches, decreases fatigue, increases blood flow to intestines, diabetes (daily for 30 days), cholesterol & triglycerides (reduction when done 5-6 times a week for 4 weeks), colic, arthritis and more.
Reflexology may be included as part of your session or as a half hour or full hour session. A footbath and footscrub may be used to start the relaxation process. You may choose to have just foot reflexology or include hands and ears. Relaxation techniques are used at the beginning to loosen the feet or hands and then a firm touch is used, so you will not find it ticklish.
