Reflexology was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. It is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which corespond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to stimulate these reflex areas results in the reduction of stress which allows the body to create balance. This type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in the body by naturally improving your circulation, which reduces your body tension and enhances relaxation. It aids in the elimination of body waste and restoring the body functions to better health.
Reflexology is a unique modality in the health field.
Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being in the same way as an exercise or diet program. Its practice should not be compared to massage or any other kind of manipulative procedure.
