Introduction
Reflexology is an ancient therapy known to promote the body’s healing powers. Practitioners have practiced foot reflexology for centuries in countries such as India and China. It is suitable for any age group, from babies to seniors. Other types of reflexology include hand reflexology and ear reflexology.
Reflexology is much more than a foot massage. It is a natural healing therapy that is highly effective in dealing with many health complaints. A foot massage can promote relaxation but does not have long-term effects. Foot reflexology promotes equilibrium and well-being with a long-lasting impact.
According to Thai medicine, the feet are a mirror of the body. Each foot has ten reflex zones, and each reflex zone corresponds to a part of the body. Specific manipulation and pressure of the reflex points reduce blockages in the corresponding glands or organs, restoring a healthy balance.
Foot reflexology is the art of applying pressure to different points on your foot. By applying pressure to these points, you can stimulate these organs, which results in better health.
There are many benefits of foot reflexology. First, a reflexology treatment will stimulate the organs, blood, lymphatic and nervous systems. Treatments will also bring relaxation and stress relief to the recipient and help relieve some illnesses, headaches and migraines.
