Reflexology








Reflexology is the practice of working reflexes in the feet, hands or ear to treat the corresponding parts of the body. It is a method of activating the healing powers of the body.


It causes responses (relaxation) in corresponding parts of the body which is the first step to normalization. The body returns to a state of equilibrium called homeostasis where easy circulation of blood takes place supplying nutrients and oxygen to the cells.

It reduces stress, improves blood circulation, cleanses the toxins from the body, revitalises energy and balances the whole system.
Imagine the foot or hand as three dimensional representation of the three dimensional body to fix the internal organs in position on both the hands and feet.

Zonal imbalance is caused by internal blockages like calcification or pooling of lymph fluid or by external blockages like corns and calluses etc.
Thumb walking or finger walking technique is used in which the thumb bent at the first joint is pressed bite by bite all over the feet or hands. Again pleasurable pain is the goal.

It can be done by self and it is more effective when the reflex organ is imagined at the time of applying pressure and coordinated with breathing by closing the eyes.

Apply rhythmic pressure for nearly fourteen times for curative purpose and for preventive purpose apply pressure for seven times.

Zone therapy is the basis of hand and foot reflexology Working on the entire foot or hand affects the whole body. Here, in addition to longitudinal zones, the body is also divided into lateral zones.

The main purpose is to fix the image of the body onto the foot or hand in proper perspective and location.
give strong pressure in all Points 30 Min. Twice a week
