Reflexology isn’t just about pressing on feet and hands; it’s about unlocking the body's natural healing potential. Ready to give it a try? Your body will thank you!
Have you ever heard of reflexology and wondered what it’s all about? If so, you're in the right place. Reflexology is both an art and a science. It’s based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to every gland, organ, and body part. Applying pressure to these areas using specific techniques can assist in relaxation, pain relief, and boosting your overall health.
The Ancient Roots of Reflexology
Did you know that reflexology can be traced back over 5,000 years? Ancient Egyptians were among the first to practice foot reflexology, as evidenced by historical documentation. Reflexology has been practiced globally across various cultures, with each adding its unique touch to this healing art.
Reflexology in North America
In North America, William Fitzgerald, M.D., introduced reflexology between 1909 and the 1930s. He used reflexology as a method of anesthesia and analgesia during surgeries. Later, Eunice Ingram, a physical therapist, increased awareness by teaching and publishing books on reflexology from the 1930s to the 1960s.
How Reflexology Works
Reflexology works by decreasing stress and anxiety, which encourages oxygen, nutrients, blood, nerves, and energy to flow freely through the body. This promotes healing by breaking down blockages that reflexologists feel as deposits, tightness, or lumpy areas under the skin.
