Our feet are often the most forgotten, neglected and overlooked part of the body. Not only do we seem to take them for granted and forget the amazing job they do for us, but we don’t realize their potential role in keeping us healthy.
This is where reflexology comes in. Reflexology is a therapy that works with pressure points on the feet that correspond to all of the organs, glands and parts of the body.
By working on the specific areas of the feet a response is elicited in the organs and glands connected to these areas. This stimulation causes physiological changes to occur in the corresponding organs and systems of the body. In this way reflexology can directly affect the functioning of all the body’s systems, helping them to function at their optimum level. Circulation of lymph and blood is improved, immune functioning is enhanced, assimilation of nutrients is increased, and elimination of toxins are enhanced.
