What Is The Amazing Reflexology!
Reflexology, which also known as zone therapy, is the act of applying certain pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the need to use oils or lotions. It's based on a system of zones and reflex areas that relate to an image of the body on the feet and hands and that such work effects positive physical change to the body. Reflexology is now growing increasingly popular as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure being used across Europe and Asia. Reflexology seem like a variation of acupressure, with its notion that there are correspondences between special pressure points.
In reflexology, there's points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears that correspond to specific organs, bones and body systems. Practitioners access these points on the feet and hands (bottom, sides, and top) and the ear (both inside as far as the finger can reach and outside) to affect organs and systems positively throughout the entire body and promote healing and better body function. Reflexology and acupressure are both "reflex" therapies in that they work with points on one part of the body to affect other parts of the body. While reflexology uses reflexes that are in an orderly arrangement resembling a shape of the human body on the feet, hands, and outer ears.
Acupressure uses over 800 reflex points that are found along long thin energy lines called meridians that run the length of the entire body and reflexology is also used for post-operative or palliative care. In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium. Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. Reflexology sessions in general last from 30 minutes to an hour. It is a clothed session with only the removal of shoes and socks as a requirement.
So to summarize, reflexology is a good natural alternative treatment for stress and common ailments. If your looking for a natural healer then this is for you.
