Reflexology

Reflexology can be traced back to ancient China, India and Egypt. Reflexology uses ten distinct areas or zones within the body similar to the meridian system used in acupuncture of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Meridians are channels or pathways through which the body's vital energy (Qi) flows.

As the zone travels through the body it intersects with various organs that lie on the same line. Therefore each zone connects the organs within it through the same energy flow. If energy along any one zone is disrupted in any way then the organs lying within the same zone will also be affected.

The importance of this is that it is possible to indirectly treat the organs of the body through applying pressure to specific areas of the hands or feet.

Reflexology is therefore a method of healing that allows the indirect treatment of various areas of the body through the understanding and manipulation of the bodies natural flows of energy.
