Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that works on the principle that the body is divided into ten longitudinal zones or nerve pathways. Each zone acts as a channel of energy, or 'chi'. Working a zone in the foot, hands or ears by using thumb or finger pressure can help to release vital energy that may be blocked in any reflex zone and corresponding part of the body. Reflexology can help to balance the meridian zones and may improve the function of related organs and glands. When the reflexes are stimulated in the feet, hands or ears, an involuntary response is produced in the organs, glands and parts of the body connected to that energy pathway. This triggers the body to facilitate the healing process.Benefits of Reflexology
