Reflexology is the application of pressure techniques to the hands and feet to affect another part of the body.
These techniques stimulate pressure sensors, triggering relaxation response throughout the body.
Reflexology encourages good health, promoting relaxation, easing pain, preventing disease, and improving quality of life.
It works as a stress reducer in the nervous system, promoting beneficial effects on the whole body.
Clinical studies show that reflexology and classic music both increase alpha frequencies in brain waves associated with relaxation.
The benefits of Reflexology can be described as:
– balancing and stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic (cardio-vascular) system;
– improving nerve tone by improved circulation to nerve endings;
– relaxation from tension and stress;
– healing within the subtle bodies, promoting a calmer outlook on life;
– balancing the endocrine (hormonal) system, which assists in a sense of well-being and positivity about life;
– improve energy levels, as a result of the above benefits;
Reflexology is a wonderful therapy – but it is not the panacea for the world’s ills!
No matter how beneficial any holistic therapy may be at a point in time for the individual, it does not guarantee that it will work in the same way for that person at another point in time.
