Reflexology is a science that recognizes that there are areas on the feet that correspond to all the organs, glands, and parts of the body. It is a method of activating the healing powers of the body through stimulation of these reflexes on the feet. By working the reflexes through the billions of nerve endings on each foot, the reflexologist relieves stress and tension, improves blood circulation and nerve supply, promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses, and helps the body to achieve equilibrium or homeostasis.
Approximately 80% of what ails us is aggravated by the accumulation of stress. Essentially, through reflexology, your whole body, inside and out becomes relaxed. When your body is profoundly relaxed, it seeks homeostasis, or perfect balance, releases stress and toxins, and generally enables the body to work better – to heal itself.
