Reflexology is a method
of nurturing touch. It is based on the premise that there are reflex zones or points in the hand and feet which correspond
to all the parts of the body. The art of applying pressure to these particular points can encourage stress reduction causing
positive physiological changes throughout the entire body. Foot and/or hand reflexology
sessions can also help to normalize body balances, flow of chi and energy and organ functions .
Reflexology has been practiced
since ancient times. Egyptian papyrus have been found dating 2330 BC and clearly depicting both hand and feet reflexology. It is only recently recognizing a resurgence.
Stress cannot be avoided
but can be managed. If not managed it can break down our bodies natural defenses making us more susceptible to illness and
disease. Reflexology promotes stress reduction by generating a deep and tranquil mind/body state.
When stress is not controlled,
tension on our cardiovascular system restricts blood flow. This prevents oxygen from flowing freely which in turn prevents
nutrients from going to our cells and releasing waste products and toxins.
The combination of reflexology
and essential oils encourages and accelerates the body's flow and usage of oxygen to help our
bodies heal itself.
