Reflexologist, feet are a microcosm of human body and every organ and body part is represented in feet. Where there are two organs in body they will be represented on both feet, e.g. lungs and kidney and where there is only one organ, this will be represented on one foot, e.g. liver will be on right foot while heart will be on left. Where organ or body part is reflected in feet, this is called "organ" reflex, e.g. heart reflex.The right foot represents right side of body as well as past while left foot represents left side of body as well as present and future.
Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. This type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in body by naturally improving your circulation, which reduces our body tension and enhances relaxation. It aids in elimination of body waste and restoring body functions to better health.
THE PRINCIPLES OF REFLEXOLOGY
By stimulating reflexes on feet with a type of pressure massage, organs of body are stimulated, thus allowing them to start unblocking and healing themselves. In addition to this, stimulation of these reflexes allows body to begin detoxing and eliminating poisons which have built up through bad diet, thinking and habit.
Centuries ago, man mapped out a healing energy that circulates through body on specific pathways. This energy we call "life force" or "vital energy". This force can be "tapped" at more than 800 points in your body.
Ancient medical philosophy teaches that to obtain and maintain health, which is balance and maintenance of harmony within body, there must be a free and unimpeded circulation of energy flowing through body's organs.
Traditional medicine, not only of Chinese, but from use of Acupuncture in other countries as well, we learn that traditional medicine is based on belief that body's blood circulation follows flow of energy. If this energy circulation, which follows circulates freely in an endless cycle from main organs through channels beneath skin, is blocked at some point, then circulation is impaired.
This blockage results in a deficient oxygenation of tissues around affected area and throws body off balance. This imbalance produces malfunctioning not only of tissues surrounding it, but, if not corrected, spreads to related organs nearby.
Tapping this healing current can bring prompt and natural relief from practically all of your aches and pains, chronic or acute, by simple process of working 'reflex buttons' located in your hands, feet and/or body.
Stimulating, pressing or 'working' a reflex point (or button) connected to a particular body organ, system or part sends a surge of healing energy for prompt relief of a condition. Working a reflex also loosens and flushes out crystals and blockages within body's energy channels allowing life force or vital energy to resume its free and natural flow through channels. This encourages body to swing back into its normal balance, so harmony and health are again established.
This method of restoring body to normal functioning involves no expense, no special equipment (although reflex tools can be utilized and do help save wear and tear on your finger and thumb joints!), no drugs or medication. The results are amazingly fast, bringing relief often in a matter of seconds.
