Primitive forms of reflexology date back many thousands of years with its origins found in many different cultures. It has links with China, India and Egypt.
Reflexology works on the basis that the whole body is mapped on the feet and hands in the form of reflex areas. By stimulating the reflexes on the feet or hands each corresponding part of the body is stimulated as well, thus encouraging the body to heal itself and thereby returning the body to homeostasis (natural balance).
Reflexology has many benefits, not only is it deeply relaxing and stress relieving but it also helps the body to deal with many different conditions and illnesses more efficiently therefore reducing the amount of stress put on the systems of the body.
It improves circulation and the immune system, can reduce congestion, inflammation and tension, encourages the release of toxins and promotes healing and the flow of nerve impulses. Reflexology can help with many conditions including back pain, migraines, stress-related problems, digestive problems, insomnia, muscular problems, hormonal imbalances, infertility, pregnancy and arthritis to name but a few.
As mentioned reflexology has been very successful in aiding fertility in cases where conception has proven difficult, and then to help reduce labour time and discomfort at the end of pregnancy.
Reflexology is a fantastic treatment for general well being or for specific conditions.
