What is Reflexology?
The reflex areas (foot, hand, ear, iris) are the hologramic representation of the whole body. Also called zone therapy.
Foot reflexology is an empirical healing system that is the most popular branch of Naturopathy. Reflexology heals by holistic methods and treats the condition not just symptoms. It takes into account the patient’s living environment and habits and supports healing from all sides. Helps the self-healing processes without side effects. The application of planned finger pressures of reflex zones stimulate the health energy of the body.
How does it work?
Reflexology is also known as Zone Therapy as the foot is divided into different zones representing the body and it’s internal functions. Nerve endings are imbedded in the feet that travel to all parts of the body. Stimulating these nerve endings by massaging the feet promotes relaxation, improves circulation, detoxifies, stimulates vital organs in the body and encourages the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike conventional medicine, reflexology works on the underlying problems within the body and works through the body’s nervous system. Example: lactic acid can be felt in the foot in the form of little crystals. This is sediment due to poor eating or lack of exercise and can be crushed and reabsorbed into the body thereby allowing the lymph system to eliminate the waste product.
