So What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural healing art, which is based on the principals that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part and organ in the body. By applying the correct pressure on specific points on the feet or hands, the nerves are stimulated and circulation of blood and energy occurs. Reflexology has been used around the globe for centuries to diagnose and treat disease. This widely known healing art has been used in the past mainly for the relief of stress and pain reduction, due to the release of endorphins caused by the pressure points. “Crystals” that form at the end of nerves cause blockage in the flow of life force, energy. Through reflexology these energetic blockages dissolve, natural energy flow is restored, homeostasis is achieved and the body heals itself naturally. These special points on the hands and feet connect to the organs of the body through both the nervous system and energy paths.
