What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is an essential part of traditional Indian medicine known as ayurvedic medicine. The application of reflexology includes specialist massage techniques that are most commonly applied to the feet, although they may also be effectively applied to the hands and face.
According to reflexology theory, the feet and hands have special points and zones that are believed to have direct connections with specific organs and regions of the entire body. These connections are relayed through the many nerve endings and that are located in the feet and hands, which pass through the body’s relevant organs and regions. These interconnecting systems may also relate to the traditional eastern energetic pathways, such as the nadis and chakras used in Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine and the acupuncture meridian system used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The gentle massage techniques applied to the many nerve endings on the feet and hands also send signals to the brain, which can induce a very deep state of relaxation, general stress relief and well being.
This process in itself can help reduce symptoms of pain and distress associated with many common health conditions, making it a very versatile therapy.
