Reflexology
Reflexology is an old Chinese therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, just like acupuncture. It is an effective way to manage stress without acupuncture needles or side effects.
Reflexology applies pressure on specific areas of the feet and sometimes on hands and ears. These areas or points treated in reflexology are a ‘reflex area’ that has a beneficial effect on organs, glands and systems of the entire body. That’s why reflexology, even though it works on a small, particular area, enhances health and well being in the whole person. For that effect, a reflexologist uses a body mapping chart so it can be specific with its touch.
Reflexology is recommended for many conditions, even though it doesn’t diagnose, cure or prescribe medicine for any disease.
Some health benefits of reflexology include:
• Stress management and relaxation
• Pain relief
• Immune system boost
• Improved digestion and elimination
• Improved circulation
• Overall sense of well being
• Restores natural balance
• Alleviates anxiety and migraines
• Assists in reducing pain from cancer treatment or MS
