Reflexology Therapy
Reflexology therapy, (an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians), is also a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet, hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems. Reflexology therapy is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using reflexology therapy promotes physiological improvements in the body. Reflexology therapy is the correspondence of the reflexes in the feet and hands to the organs and all parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes with this unique technique can promote the body's own healing potential to promote better health. Reflexology therapy is primarily used for relaxing tension. Reflexology therapy restores natural balance and revitalization. Not intended to cure diseases, reflexology therapy is valuable in locating high stress or tension areas in the body. Therefore, reflexology therapy can be utilized in encouraging natural healing. Since 75% of all health problems are linked to stress, reflexology therapy could prove invaluable in this day and age.
