Reflexology

The Purpose of Reflexology: A Powerful Healing Method

Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body. Reflexologists promote healing by stimulating nerves and encouraging the flow of blood. Specific pressures, stretches, and movements are applied to the feet to affect their corresponding parts of the body and to activate the body’s inherent healing power. By employing this therapeutic method, reflexologists can break up patterns of stress in all parts of the body.

The History of Reflexology: Ancient Healing

Reflexology is an ancient practice. It dates back thousands of years, to ancient Egypt, India, and China. In fact, in modern-day China the central government accepts reflexology as a means of preserving health, preventing illness, and even curing diseases.
