REFLEXOLOGY
What is it?
Reflexology, which has its roots in ancient Egypt, works on the principle
that every organ and system of the body has a corresponding point or zone
in the feet. For example, the spot in the centre of the big toe corresponds
to the pituitary gland, and on the ball of the foot underneath the big toe
there is a point that corresponds to the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
How does it work?
A Reflexology practitioner uses light pressure to massage each of the
points in the toes, feet and ankles to release tension, remove energy
blockages, disperse accumulations of calcium and uric acid, stimulate
blood circulation and promote healing of both body and mind.
It encourages both relaxation and stimulation, and has a balancing effect.
