Reflexology |
|
Cleanses the body of toxins/impurities |

|
|
The body has its
own purifying and cleansing system in the form of the lymphatic,
excretory, lymph nodes, kidney colon and the skin.
If they become
blocked or function improperly, toxins and waste matter build
up.
By deepening relaxation reflexology causes all the systems of
the body to function more efficiently including the eliminatory
systems.

Improves circulation |
|
It is important
for blood to flow freely through the body as it carries oxygen
and nutrients to all the cells that make up the tissues of the
body and remove waste products of metabolism and other toxic
waste.
During this
process the blood vessels contract and relax and their strength
is most important for correct functioning. The result of stress
and tension is the tightening of the cardiovascular system and
restricted blood flow.
Circulation
becomes sluggish. Reflexology helps reduce stress and tension
and therefore allows the miles of cardiovascular vessels to
conduct the flow of blood naturally.

Balances the whole system |
|
Homeostasis means
being in a state of dynamic balance.
There are
thousands of parts and areas that make up the body and for the
human body to function at its best they must all work together.
If one part is
over or under active other parts will suffer. Therefore a
regular tune-up is needed to keep the body and all its parts
working in harmony. |

Revitalises energy |

We all experience
our own energy in different ways and at different levels. It can be
either calming and restful or exciting and invigorating. It will
circulate consciously and unconsciously throughout the body on a
mental, physical and emotional level. The energy of the spirit is
very important to our overall well being as physical or mental
energy. Reflexology relaxes and opens the energy pathways,
revitalises the body and supplies it with energy at all levels.

Reduces stress
and
induces
deep relaxation
When we are sluggish and
tired) we never perform to the best of our ability. Reflexology
will restore mental alertness and improve the attention span.
When the tension is reduced and a calming of the mind induced,
we tend to have our best thoughts and ideas and are able to work
for longer periods of time with more efficiency to complete
tasks. The quiet time and pick me up effect of a reflexology
treatment in the middle of the day or late in the afternoon, can
send you back to work with renewed vigour. |

Stimulates
creativity and productivity |

There are now a
number of health threatening dangers in our environment, stress,
fatigue, chemical additives in food, polluted water supplies,
radioactivity and poor air quality etc.
There is also
an added strain on our immune systems and this is an indication
that we must relax and unwind, as the immune system will
function at its best when a person has worked his way through
the stressful situations of the daily life.
It is only when
the body is well balanced the person is in good shape to ward
off any illness and it relies on other bodily processes to
maintain the lines of defence.

Stress is with
us every day and is neither good nor bad. Stress is only a
problems when we are unable to cope with it, especially when its
a result of problems, frustrations, overwork or worry. When we
cannot cope with worry our body's defences break down and we
become more susceptible to illness and disease. Reflexology
reduces stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation and peace
that help the body balance itself and allow healing energy to
flow smoothly and gently throughout.
All parts of our body are
operated by messages carried back and forth along the neural pathways and the
stimulation of sensory nerve endings sending information to the spinal cord and
the brain, which then send messages to the organs and muscles. When the neural
pathways are damaged the nerve functions are impeded and the messages are
delivered slowly and unreliably or even not at all and the body does not
function efficiently. The reflexologist stimulates more than 7000 nerves when
touching the feet and thus improving the opening and clearing of neural
pathways.

Induce a feeling of well being |
|
When, as a human
being, you feel good about yourself, others will respond and the
people you come in contact with will sense your new found
patience and tolerance and inner peace which the reflexology has
given you.

How does
reflexology work? There are
channels of energy crossing through the body, each important organ and
muscle is connected by a network of nerves to a tiny point on the foot
where the energy terminates.
As the circulation in the feet slows down
through illness, wearing shoes or lack of exercise - Crystalline deposits
form at the nerve endings, in the reflex areas, these crystals interfere
with blood circulation and cause congestion.
By gently massaging the various areas the
crystals are broken up and are dispersed, allowing that part of the body to
function more efficiently.
By restoring circulation where stagnation has occurred and energy pathways
have been blocked. Vitality, balance and an improvement in the condition of
the patient can be achieved.
The main aim of
reflexology is to trigger the return to homeostasis - a state of equilibrium
or balance.
