Reflexology
The reflexology (also foot reflex or reflex area therapy) is an
alternative way of healing wich tells that all body parts have a
connection with places on the feet, the hands and the ears. The
foot sole, the hands and the ears can become classified in areas
which correspond with parts in the body such as the heart, the
liver etc. Reflexology is a type of massage which repairs and/or
maintains areas in the entire body by causing the energy flow in
the body to be unobstructed. Sickness can be the consequence
of blockages of energy in the body. By using reflexology this
energy flow (the base of our health) will become stimulated and
as a result sicknesses can be remedied.
According to the reflexology the energy flows inside the nerves
through the human body. These energy flows can be influenced
on approximately 800 points in our body. In the acupuncture these
same points are used, but works in contrast to reflexology with
needles which are put into the reflex points in the skin. The easiest
way to influence these places is done on the hands and the feet.
The reflexology divides the body in ten areas. These are mapped
on the feet with on every foot five areas. The body is also
vertically projected on the foot. The head lies at the toes, and the
feet at the heel and every area has its own characteristics. By
exercising pressure on a certain place on the feet, a certain organ
or a certain gland is stimulated at another place in the body. On
the hands and feet all points, that have an influence on the
organs come together. Reflexology is beneficial for sinusitis and
breathing problems, digestive problems, back problems, asthma,
infertility, inproves circulation and can also work preventive for
sicknesses. Reflexologie harmonises the body and helps the self
healing capacity and the immunity. It purifies the body of waste
products, gives energy and stimulates the spirit.
