Learning about Reflexology

I’ve never really been into alternative therapies and as you have read from my previous posts, I’ve only just discovered yoga and it’s benefits.  I came across this article from Healthzone.tips and thought you might be interested.

I’m not suggesting that this is a cure for all, however this type of therapy dates back to 4,000B.C. and was originally practiced in ancient China and Egypt, although is now a worldwide practice.

What is Reflexology?

According to The Reflexology Association of Australia, “Reflexology is based on the principle that certain parts of the body reflect the whole. Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, face and ears. These points respond to pressure, stimulating the body’s own natural healing process.

The body starts progressively clearing blockages, re-establishing energy flows and balancing itself, resulting in better health. There are many different styles and approaches used in reflexology, however the basic principle is constant. Subtle yet powerful, reflexology is becoming increasingly popular in the world of complementary therapies.”

The link to the article (below) which I read shows the various pressure points in your hands and feet and what type of pain the reflexology technique might ease.  As I have mentioned, it is not a medical practice however, in Australia some health funds do cover some or all of the cost.

Read the article and make up your own mind – it never hurts to try something new.
