Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a method of stimulation reflexes in the foot, hand or ear
that correspond to specific glands, organs or parts of the body. Stimulation
of these reflex points results in heightened Qi circulation, allowing
harmony to return to the body. It is believe that due to modern foot wear,
these points are no longer exposed to the natural stimulation they had
once received, due to this most practitioners tend to concentrate on the
feet.
Limitations of Reflexology
The practice of reflexology is not intended to cure disease or diagnose
ailments. Reflexologists are not certified to diagnose or treat ailments,
however, reflexology is essential in the treatment of stress related conditions
and pain management. Medical research has shown that a majority of health
conditions may be linked to heightened levels of stress and tension. Reflexology
offers a comprehensive, holistic and natural method of stress management
intended to heighten your body's response to its own internal demands.
Benefits of Reflexology
Among the known and documented benefits of reflexology is enhanced immune
system activity through the augmentation of blood circulation, as well
as relief from stress/tension, and assisting lymph drainage. As reflexology
is a non-invasive procedure, it does not produce any negative effects.
However, the effects of toxin drainage from the lymph glands have, on
rare occasions, been known to produce symptoms such as perspiration, nausea
or headaches. These effects are not directly related to the treatment
itself, producing mild, temporary effects only.
