WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a science that maps out the reflex points on the feet, hands, face or ears. These points have a connection to the entire body. The hand techniques are unique to traditional Reflexology and are different from the motions used in other types of bodywork.
This protocol of manual techniques, such as thumb-and finger-walking, hook and backup and rotating-on-a-point, applied to specific reflex areas predominantly on the feet and hands.
These techniques stimulate the complex neural pathways linking body systems, supporting the body’s efforts to function optimally. As a specialized pressure technique; these techniques are applied to specific wellness-related reflex points on the feet or hands to release blocked energy, relieve stress and boost circulation.
The effectiveness of reflexology is recognized worldwide by various national health institutions and the public at large as a distinct complementary practice within the holistic health field.
New studies on the benefits of Reflexology on brain health and function
by Kevin & Barbara Kunz
👣Stress Reduction: Reflexology helps to reduce stress and promotes relaxation, which can have a positive impact on brain health. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the mind and reduce anxiety.
👣Improved Blood Circulation: By applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, reflexology improves blood circulation throughout the body, including the brain. This increased blood flow can enhance brain function and improve cognitive abilities.
👣Enhanced Sleep Quality: Reflexology has been shown to improve sleep quality, which is essential for optimal brain health. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, reflexology can help regulate sleep patterns and ensure restful sleep.
👣Pain Relief: Reflexology can help alleviate headaches and migraines, which are often associated with brain health issues. By targeting specific reflex points, reflexology stimulates the release of endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.
👣Mental Clarity and Focus: Reflexology can enhance mental clarity and focus by reducing mental fatigue and improving concentration. It helps to clear the mind, improve cognitive function, and increase alertness.
👣Emotional Wellbeing: Reflexology can have a positive impact on emotional wellbeing, which is closely linked to brain health. It helps to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings, promoting a sense of overall emotional balance.
