Reflexology is an ancient healing art and a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the body, mind, and spirit. The term holistic is derived from the word (holos), which means whole. Reflexology is an integrative health science that does not isolate a disease and treat its symptoms, but rather support the whole person by nurturing a state of balance and harmony. It tries to get to the root of the disease. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.
~~~~~~~DEFINITION OF REFLEXOLOGY~~~~~~~
Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hand that correspond to all of the glands. Organs, and parts of the body.
~~~~~~~THE ART OF REFLEXOLOGY~~~~~~~
Reflexology IS NOT the same as a FOOT MASSAGE or MASSAGE THERAPY. Rather than simply rubbing randomly, reflexology treats the feet as a microcosm of the entire body.
~~~~~~~THE GOAL OF REFLEXOLOGY~~~~~~~
Reflexology, in effect, is to re-educate, re-pattern, and re-condition nerves so that the body can heal itself by using that self-correcting system.

~~~~~~~WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM REFLEXOLOGY~~~~~~~
Reflexology is a safe, natural healing technique that can benefit everyone from new born to 100 yr old or older adult. This gentle art can bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. But since no two people are the same, the benefits that reflexology brings will be different for everyone. However, everybody can reap the natural benefits that come with relaxation and the rebalancing of energy. Reflexology seems to be most beneficial for people suffering from stress-related disorders, such as lower back pain, chronic indigestion, headaches, and high blood pressure. It is also quite useful in treating emotional problems, such as depression, sexual dysfunctions, and eating disorders. Today, an increasing number of people are using this natural therapy as a way of simple relaxing, balancing, and harmonizing the body.
~~~~~~~REFLEXOLOGY TODAY~~~~~~~~
Recently, research studies have been conducted around the world, which validate the effectiveness of reflexology on a wide variety of conditions. As a result, reflexology is quickly being embraced for its provisions of enhancing health, profound relaxation, and pleasure, coupled with its inherent simplicity and harmless nature. The professional practice of reflexology has been recognized by the national government and integrated into mainstream provision of health care in four countries: China, Denmark, Japan, and the United Kingdom. In china, where reflexology is excepted by the central government as a means of preventing and curing disease and preserve health, over three hundred research studies have shown reflexology provides some improvement to ninety-five percent of the over 18,000 cases covering sixty-four illnesses studied. Chronic conditions seem to respond especially well to reflexology. In Denmark, Japan, and the united kingdom, reflexology has been incorporated into the employee health programs of several large corporations, saving each company thousands of dollars annually in sick leave benefits. Reflexology is one of the most popular and rapidly growing methods of alternative healing.
~~~~~~~WHAT WILL I FEEL DURING TREATMENT?~~~~~~~
Reflexology consist of special techniques that are designed to stimulate all of the reflex areas of the feet to bring about profound relaxation. Most people feel a peace serenity come over them as the feet stimulate, and some even fall asleep. Sometimes you may feel a pressure applied to the foot and be aware of a slight discomfort or tenderness. This is normal and is only a sign that there is congestion in that area. Tender spots indicate areas that need extra attention. As you get regular treatments, these sensitive areas will be less tender. Reflexology should not hurt. In other words, �pain is not gain� in a reflexology treatment. Pressure, as in a regular massage, should be strong, but not uncomfortable. The degree of discomfort that you may feel is indicative of the differing imbalances in the body. Remarkably, reflexology will relax you while stimulating your body�s own healing mechanisms.
