FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Foot reflexology is a technique that activates the body's self-healing mechanisms by stimulating reflex points located on the feet.
How does it work?
When a certain organ or body area is in a state of loss of health or imbalance, small “crystals” or “deposits” are created in these reflex points, composed mainly of nerve cells that, when stimulated by pressure, activate blood and lymphatic circulation, especially in the affected area and in general throughout the body.
Reflexology shares with other natural therapies the holistic conception of people. It is based on the premise that our body has the ability to maintain a good state of health when it is in a state of balance, and therefore, it places emphasis on stimulating these body’s own capacities both to correct imbalance situations and -above all- to prevent them from occurring.
What is it for?
Reflexology is primarily an excellent health-promoting tool, that is, it helps maintain health and prevent discomfort and illness. In addition, it is indicated for treating a large number of pains, minor illnesses and common discomforts, such as muscle pain (especially in cases of acute injuries and/or very painful areas, difficult to treat using other manual techniques), menstrual cycle imbalances (pain, irregular periods, etc.), headaches and migraines, prevention of colds and flu by strengthening the immune-lymphatic system, pathologies of the digestive system, loss of health related to certain hormonal imbalances, and a long et cetera.
The existence of reflex points gives us a valuable opportunity for self-healing that we always carry with us and can take advantage of if we learn how to apply reflexology. Body awareness, self-knowledge and the ability to self-manage our health should be (or are) priorities in our lives.
