Hand and Foot Reflexology - An Overview

Reflexology (sometimes called zone therapy) is a therapy in which the nerve endings in the feet and hands are stimulated by specific massage techniques to effect changes in all other part of the body and thereby balancing the body and assists to overcome disease by its own healing capabilities. It has noticed that the pressure on specific areas of the body can produce an anaesthetizing effect on a related area. Developing this theory, the studies have divided the body into ten equal zones, which are finished in the feet and hands. The basic theory behind the reflexology is that, treating the areas of the feet and hands could have a relaxing and healing effect on different organs and tissues inside the body.

Nerve endings are imbedded in the feet and hands, which are connected to the spinal cord and every part of our body. Reflexology treatment by means of gentle pressure at the reflex points on feet and hands can stimulate these nerve endings, which will promote relaxation to entire body part and it is also beneficial to improve the blood circulation, stimulate vital organs in the body and encourage the body's natural healing abilities. Reflexology acts against the underlying problems affected the body and works through the body's nervous system. If the body is balanced there will not be any toxin accumulation and the detoxification system will be functioning properly to eliminate the unnecessary out comes from the body.
