Reflexology works on the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands, which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body.

There are 7200 nerve endings in each foot. Perhaps this fact, more than any other, explains why we feel so much better when our feet are treated. Nerve endings in the feet have extensive interconnections through the spinal cord and brain with all areas of the body. Don't let your feet miss this golden opportunity to release tension and enhance health.

Foot and hand Reflexology uses include, but are not limited to:

1. The relief of stress and tension.

2. The improvement of blood supply and promotion of the unblocking of nerve impulses.

3. The helping of nature to achieve homeostasis

In order to keep the body at a normal balance, it is imperative that the blood and nerve supply to every organ and gland is at a maximum. Of course, the organs and glands contribute to the overall well being of the body, each making a contribution to maintaining an efficient, fully operated mechanism, but all receiving their instructions through the most intricate of all networks, the nerves.

These cord-like structures, comprised of a collection of nerve fibres, convey impulses between a part of the central nervous system and other regions of the body. They are the wiring system of your body and as with any complex wiring system, a short circuit could mean trouble.

A short circuit is often caused by tension putting pressure on a vital nerve plexus or even a single nerve structure supplying a vital organ. As tension is eased, pressure on the nerves and vessels is relaxed, thus improving the flow of blood and its oxygen-rich nutrients to all parts of the body. Reflexology helps nature to normalize.

Overactive glands or organs can be helped to return to normal. Conversely, if an organ or a gland is under-active, Reflexology can help return it to its normally functioning level. It is important to note here that the normalization action of Reflexology is never one of opposite extreme. In other words, once homeostasis or a normal condition is achieved, working the area too much cannot unbalance it. Overworking can cause some minor reactions such as diarrhoea or perhaps some nasal mucus being secreted (runny nose). These reactions though are cleansing poisons from the body. Succinctly, Reflexology cannot harm a system; it simply brings it back into balance.

The human body is composed of a myriad of parts working together for the good health of the entire being. These parts are usually grouped into systems; structures and organs related to each other in performing certain functions.

Pumping vital nutrients and oxygen to all of the tissues of the body and in turn, carrying away their waste products, including carbon dioxide, is the primary task of that magnificent muscle - the heart. It allows blood to circulate through a system of arteries, capillaries, and veins.

The heart, the body’s most powerful muscle, is a hollow, muscular organ about the size of your clenched fist and it pumps almost 5 litres of blood a minute while you are resting and about 35 litres of blood during exercise.

Putting it another way, the heart’s pumping action circulates about 2000 gallons (7570 litres) of blood through an estimated 70,000 miles (112,630 kilometres) of blood vessels every 24 hours.

Reflexology is a means of equalizing the circulation. We all know circulation is life. Stagnation is death. Everything around us that is alive is in motion.
