WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY
-
Reflexology
treatment is a holistic therapy that works on the whole body rather
than the condition or disease.
-
It works on
the principle that there are reflexes in both the hands and feet
that are associated or connected to all the various systems, organs
and glands in the body.
-
The body is
made up of 10 zones and the skillful application of therapy to a
single zone will influence all parts of the body within that zone.
-
Reflexology
originates from the ancient Egyptians and works on the same principle
as acupuncture, although using the hands as tools and not needles.
-
As well as
being an effective therapy for many disorders, reflexology is an
immensely relaxing experience. |

The scene
from a pictograph at saqqara (2500-2330 B.C.) Egypt, depicts a man
working on the feet and hands of another man. The patient has one
hand on his knee and is touching the pressure point under his arm
where he is feeling the corresponding pain. The hieroglyphics read
"DO NOT LET IT BE PAINFUL," says the patient. "I DO AS
YOU PLEASE," the practitioner replies.
