Reflexology


Reflexology, an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians. Reflexology is a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet, hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems.

Reflexology is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using reflexology promotes physiological improvements in the body. (For more information on reflexology, be sure to check out the Holistic Junction Business Directory for practitioners and schools specializing in reflexology.)

Reflexology is the correspondence of the reflexes in the feet and hands to the organs and all parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes with this unique technique can promote the body's own healing potential to promote better health. Reflexology is primarily used for relaxing tension.

Reflexology restores natural balance and revitalization. Not intended to cure diseases, reflexology is valuable in locating high stress or tension areas in the body. Reflexology can be utilized in encouraging natural healing.

Since 75% of all health problems are linked to stress, reflexology could prove invaluable in this day and age.
