Reflexology Reflexology is a simple, effective and natural therapy which focuses on the feet.
It is over 5, years old and has origins in China and Egypt, where pressure therapies were recognised to have therapeutic benefits and more importantly, help prevent disease. Every part of the body has a reflex point on the feet.
The right foot represents the right side of the body and the left foot, the left side. The feet have many nerve endings and it is felt that this is why reflexology works. The nerves are stimulated at the reflex points with specific thumb and finger techniques.
The nerve relays this stimulus through the nervous system up the spinal column to the corresponding affected area of the body. Where there is inhibited functioning or disease, congestion will be found in the form of grainy crystal deposits. These deposits are caused by excess acidity in the bloodstream which increases calcium deposits at the nerve endings. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that ch'i energy circulates along twelve meridian pathways within the body.
The six meridians which penetrate the major organs of the body are found in the feet - specifically the toes. Reflexology helps to clear the blockage along the medians and encourages the ch'i to flow.
