Angel Hands Reflexology By Becky

Introduction: How does reflexology work? Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that the feet and hands have reflexes which correspond to every part of the body. In general, there is common sense that the benefits of reflexology are related to the reduction of stress. At various times in the history of the human being, reflexology has been rediscovered and reinstated as a health practice in many different cultures around the world. Archeological evidence relates ancient reflexology systems to various historical time-spans, including China (2704 BCE), Egypt (2330 BCE), and Japan (690 CE). There are many theories which explain how reflexology works. Some theories are related to the nervous system and the reflexive responses; other theories relate reflexology to the meridians. Far most reflexology approaches describe the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands - through the use of specific thumb, finger and hand techniques. What can you expect from a reflexology treatment? A reflexology treatment usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. The actual treatment is preceded by a consultation about your health and lifestyle. Then, you are usually asked to remove your shoes and socks and sit comfortably in a reclining chair or on a massage table. So, apart from your shoes and sock, you remain fully clothed. The reflexologist will then assess the feet. The next step concerns the stimulation of various points on the feet to identify areas of tenderness and/or tension. The reflexology therapist then uses brisk movements to warm up the feet. Then the physical act of applying pressure starts from the toes to the heel according to your comfort. Often, lotion or oil is used for the benefit of your comfort. Most often people feel calm and relaxed after a reflexology treatment. Sometimes people feel anxious or tearful, but this is usually only temporary - and often considered as part of the healing process. Let me touch your sole.
