Have you ever experienced Reflexology?
Reflexology is a system of healing that uses the application of pressure to different reflexes or zones on the feet and hands that correlate to areas of the body. The entire body is mapped to the tops and bottoms of the feet and hands. Reflexology has been shown in over 170 studies in 21 countries to effectively address a myriad of physical and psychological concerns. Although modern science has not proven exactly why it works, there have been studies using fMRI showing that areas of the brain which correlate to the body area stimulated by the corresponding reflex point on the foot, show more activity. Very exciting!
I have been Certified in Egyptian Reflexlogy™. This a method of Reflexology that is less painful, very gentle and an enjoyable technique that uses gentle pressure as well as powerful all natural essential oils to enhance the healing effect of the Reflexology. The Reflex points are also mapped to emotional and psychological issues as well as physical. The effects of a Reflexology session are incredibly relaxing, refreshing and healing for the body and soul.
Some of the effects that have been shown in studies are:
- Creates relaxation
- Reduces pain
- Ameliorates health concerns – research has shown that it helps with at least 78 health concerns.
- Improves blood flow
- Aids post-operative recovery
- Impacts physiological measures (ECG, EEG, fMRI)
- Enhances medical care (phantom limb pain, neuropathy, hemodialysis patients)
- Reduces depression
