In Reflexology organs, nerves, glands and other parts of the body are connected to reflex points on the feet and hands. Better emotional and physical health can be achieved with healing hands being placed on the feet.
In Reflexology we mainly use the thumbs to press on different parts of the feet in different directions to stimulate the energy channels in the body. There are 10 energy channels in the body; five on each side of the body. This pathway starts at the toes and finishes at the hands; It works its way through the legs, gluts, back, stomach, shoulder and organs, the brain and arms. Reflexology facilitates healing in the body. It doesn’t diagnose illness.
This treatment can stimulate all organs of the body; that’s right all organs and hormones of the body. Wow.
Now we can stimulate neural pathways and organs.
Some of the hormones and glands that can be worked through the feet are
Serotonin – which contributes to feelings of well- being and happiness. The thyroid hormones T3 & T4, The hormones of the Hypothalamus such as:
Oxytocin – this hormone controls many emotions and behaviours, sexual arousal, lactation and maternal behaviour.
Vasopressin – Regulates water levels in the body.
The Pituitary gland regulates hormones through the anterior lobe and posterior lobe in the brain.
Reflexology can help the absorption and the spread of Vitamin D and minerals into the bones. It can also ease the aching of joints associated with arthritis, mobility and assist to heal fractures in the foot.
The benefits speak for themselves.
