Reflexologyis believed to have been passed down orally and may have been documented as a pictograph alongside other medical practices on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in 2330 BC. Furthermore, it is believed that reflexology symbols were written on Buddha statues’ feet in China and India. It is known that Native American tribes in North America have been using a type of foot therapy for hundreds of years.

The non-invasive complementary therapy known as reflexology involves the reflexes in the hands, feet, and ears that connect to each gland, organ, and body part. By using light, and steady pressure, these impulses will be activated, which can promote relaxation and healing throughout the body. The nerve endings in these pressure points allow the body to shift into a response reaction.

Reflexology is a form of focused pressure applied to the feet, hands, and, sometimes ears. Its foundation is the idea that various body parts have zones and reflexes that relate to each other and correspond with every part, gland, and organ in the body as a unit.

The body’s natural electrical energy travels along the nervous system to release any obstructions in the corresponding zones when the reflexes are activated. Reflexology sessions appear to dissolve built-up deposits, which can be felt as a gritty or sandy area beneath the skin and may obstruct the body’s natural energy flow.

By manipulating particular reflexes, stress can be released and the body’s parasympathetic reaction stimulated, allowing the body’s physiological changes to alleviate the imbalances. After the reduction of stress and enhancement of circulation, the body is permitted to shift to a state of homeostasis.
