By: Vipul / Category: Healthy Living

Reflexology is a technique of diagnosis and treatment in which certain areas of the body, particularly the feet are massaged to alleviate pain and other symptoms in the organs of the body. It is thought to have originated about 5000 years ago I china and was also used by the ancient Egyptians.

It does not use any sort of medication - merely a specific type of massage at the correct locations on the body. The body’s energy flow is thought to follow certain routes connecting every gland, organ with a ending pressure point on the feet and hands. The theory is that when routes are blocked then it indicates some ailment or condition in the body. The uses of reflexology are generally to treat conditions such as:

  • Back Pain
  • Headaches
  • Digestive Disorders
  • Stress / Tension
  • Asthma
  • Arthritis
