Reflexology

Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and promotes the natural function of our body. Based on the concept that every part of the body is linked to a reference point on the foot, hand and ear, reflexology works most frequently with the foot points to influence our body's corresponding parts. The foot has been likened to a gateway into both the energetic and physical systems of the body.

As a health-enhancing technique that results in noticeable improvement after reflex points on the feet have been worked, reflexology is a safe and effective practice for all ages because it simply assists our body to normalize.

Effectiveness of reflexology occurs most noticeably with those who suffer constipation because receiving a reflexology session results in relief. The same evidence is less detectible in gland and organ function, but the change in energy and attitude is usually noticeable immeditely as a lighter and refreshed feeling.

How could this possible work? While there is still much to learn about the human body both physically and energetically, in physical formation we know that the body develops from only three original layers of tissue during early formation of an embryo - the mesoderm, the ectoderm and the endoderm. As the embryo grows, these three ‘germ layers’ develop to become organs, muscle and connective tissue. Does this form the basis on why our tissues are connected or is it the energy pathways of the meridians? That answer is something our western medical sector has yet to investigate.

Working with the feet has survived throughout the ages because of its effectiveness and is at the least, recorded from the time of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

But, the best test as always is to try it for yourself! After that, you may even want to take my weekend hands-on intro course as effective homecare to nurture your family’s health.
