What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a form of alternative medicine founded on the principle that reflex points and zones in our feet and hands are linked to all other parts of our body.

How does reflexology work?

Reflex zones communicate with the spinal cord and the brain along nerves. The spinal cord and brain then stimulate specific organs, glands and other parts of the body via nerve fibers. This restores the energy balance to those parts of the body and allows them to better fulfill their functions.

The brain, which receives all kinds of messages from both inside and outside the body, sometimes, needs help to work at optimal levels. Our bodies need to be taught how to quickly return to a state of relaxation after being subjected to stress. Reflexology is beneficial in this aspect: it re-educates the body to quickly restore a sense of peacefulness.

The benefits

Reflexology releases stress, improves blood circulation, restores the balance of vital energy and eliminates acute and sometimes chronic pain. It harmonizes ones physical, emotional and psychological levels thus improving overall health.
