This healing modality is safe, very relaxing, and a pleasant experience. Its purpose is to normalize the body’s functioning, help break down tension, and improve nerve functioning, and blood supply to all the organs. It is based on the principle that all the body’s nerves end in the sole of the foot thus allowing direct stimulation of the tissues and organs these nerves serve.
Some of the benefits of reflexology include: production of endorphins (the feel-good chemicals), elimination of waste products, and correction of congestion, inflammation and tension in the body, which allows the blood and its oxygen and nutrients better access to tissues, cells and organs.
Reflexology also has application in the hands. Headaches, for example, can be eased by stimulating the tips of all the fingers (sinuses reflex zone) and working the whole thumb.
