For the Reflexologist, the feet are a microcosm of the human body and every organ and body component is represented in the feet. Where there are two organs in the body they will be represented on both feet, e.g. lungs and kidney and exactly where there is only 1 organ, this will be represented on 1 foot, e.g. the liver will be on the right foot while the heart will be on the left. Where the organ or body component is reflected in the feet, this is known as the “organ” reflex, e.g. the heart reflex.

The right foot represents the right aspect of the body as nicely as the past while the left foot represents the left aspect of the body as nicely as the present and future.

Every foot has over seven,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscle tissue. This type of drugless treatment produces a physiological change in the body by normally improving your circulation, which minimizes our body tension and enhances relaxation. It aids in the elimination of the body waste and restoring the body capabilities to much better well being.

THE Principles OF REFLEXOLOGY

By stimulating reflexes on the feet with a type of pressure massage, the organs of the body are stimulated, thus permitting them to begin unblocking and healing on their own. In addition to this, the stimulation of these reflexes allows the body to start detoxing and getting rid of poisons which have built up via bad diet, pondering and behavior.

Centuries back, man mapped out a healing energy that circulates via the body on specific pathways. This energy we contact “life force” or “important energy”. This force can be “tapped” at more than 800 factors in your body.

Historical health-related philosophy teaches that to acquire and preserve well being, which is the stability and maintenance of harmony inside the body, there must be a totally free and unimpeded circulation of energy flowing via the body’s organs.

Traditional medication, not only of the Chinese, but from the use of Acupuncture in other nations as nicely, we discover that conventional medication is based on the belief that the body’s blood circulation follows the movement of energy. If this energy circulation, which follows circulates freely in an limitless cycle from the main organs via the channels beneath the skin, is blocked at some stage, then the circulation is impaired.

This blockage outcomes in a deficient oxygenation of the tissues about the affected region and throws the body off stability. This imbalance produces malfunctioning not only of the tissues surrounding it, but, if not corrected, spreads to related organs close by.

Tapping this healing present can carry prompt and all-natural relief from practically all of your aches and pains, persistent or acute, by the easy procedure of operating the ‘reflex buttons’ located in your fingers, feet and/or body.

Stimulating, pressing or ‘working’ a reflex stage (or button) connected to a specific body organ, program or component sends a surge of healing energy for prompt relief of a condition. Working a reflex also loosens and flushes out crystals and blockages inside the body’s energy channels permitting the life force or important energy to resume its totally free and all-natural movement via the channels. This encourages the body to swing back again into its normal stability, so harmony and well being are once more established.

This method of restoring the body to normal working entails no expense, no special equipment (although reflex tools can be utilized and do help save wear and tear on your finger and thumb joints!), no drugs or medication. The outcomes are amazingly quick, bringing relief frequently in a issue of seconds.

Reflexology, which helps a wide assortment of scenarios, not only cures specific ailments but can be utilized to keep you in great well being and help develop resistance to attacks of illness. In addition, this method frequently detects well being issues before they become severe by you recognizing a sore or tender reflex.

Reflexology is a easy method that can be utilized at any time and practically anyplace. It is Nature’s ‘push button’ key for dynamic living, abundant physical energy, vibrant well being, much better living without pain, retaining youthful vigor and experiencing life to the fullest.

Stress AND REFLEXOLOGY

The benefits of Reflexology and Stress can be explained physiologically. Tension can be equated with stress. There are as many definitions of stress as there are authors of publications on stress. Today everybody suffers from stress but no 1 knows what stress is. It could be stated that stress is the distinction between a persons perceived capability to deal with the stressor and the reality of the environmental need.

This definition allows for various degrees of stress to be felt by different individuals in the same situation. Irrespective of what the stressor is, the stress response is always the same.

Seyle, 1956, termed the response to stress as the fight or flight syndrome. What this indicates is that when we are confronted with a stressful situation, we either fight it or run away. The body releases hormones into the program that permit us to physiologically cope with this. For example, you have all heard of mothers who have had the strength to lift up a automobile to rescue their children. This capability arrives from the rush of stress hormones, e.g. adrenaline into the bloodstream.

We also perspire profusely, (to slip out of a grasp), blood pressure raises as the blood leaves the extremities (so you do not bleed badly when cut), proteins and fats convert to glucose (to give you energy) and so on. As soon as the stress situation is over the stress hormones arrive back again to normal ranges.

Today nevertheless, it would be socially unacceptable to hit your boss if he was stressing you or to run away from home if your kids or spouse had been stressing you. This indicates that the stress hormones are continually being secreted and do not arrive back again to a normal level. Whilst these stress hormones play a important role when confronted with a stressor, they have a detrimental effect on the person if they do not arrive back again to normal ranges. Prolonged secretion and circulation of these stress hormones leads to harm to the body.

The white blood cells (infection fighters) become depleted, neurotransmitters controlling mood are depleted and T-cells in the lymphatic program are broken down. Examples of the effects of this are not tough to discover. Just look at how many individuals who have been under stress become sick. How many individuals do you know who have misplaced a “significant other” via death or divorce or who became unwell or contracted cancer?

Reflexology, by inducing relaxation, minimizes the stress hormones so that the body is in a position to create T-cells, white cells and neurotransmitters so as to begin healing itself.
