Reflexology is a gentle art, a fascinating science and an extremely effective form of healing. Combined with the element theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reflexology and meridian therapy work synergistically to bring the body into balance. Pressure is applied to reflex points in the feet only, which correspond with the organs, glands and joints in the body. Manipulation of these points and the six meridians which flow through the feet transmits a neurological and energetic message via the spinal cord. This creates a vibration throughout the system, breaking up congested molecules and allowing for more oxygen and blood flow to the cells. The result is an awakening of the body’s natural drive to heal and renew itself. While reflexologists do not cure or diagnose disease, reflexology can be effective in relieving the symptoms of many disorders, and can complement your regimen of conventional medicine.

Research shows that in one reflexology session, relaxation takes place as the brain waves move to a state of ease, pulse rate decreases and blood pressure drops. Blood circulation increases to the feet, brain, kidneys and intestines, and pain is reduced.

According to the authors of the Evidence-Based Reflexology series, Barbara and Kevin Kunz, reflexology is 93% effective as found in a year-long analysis of 168 studies from twenty-three countries. For more information visit www.reflexology-research.com.
