Discover the Healing Power of Reflexology: Natural Stress Relief and Holistic Wellness
If you’re searching for a natural way to relieve stress, support your body’s healing, and enhance your overall wellbeing, reflexology may be the answer. As a time-tested therapy grounded in both science and holistic healing, reflexology taps into the body’s innate ability to heal itself—simply by stimulating specific reflex points on the feet and hands.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that the feet and hands contain reflex areas that correspond to every gland, organ, and part of the body. By applying pressure with the thumbs and fingers to these areas, reflexologists stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, improve circulation, and reduce stress.
Developed and popularised by Eunice Ingham, a pioneer in the field, the Ingham Method of Reflexology is widely used today to help relax tension, restore balance, and promote wellness across the body.
How Does Reflexology Work?
Did you know each foot contains over 7,200 nerve endings? These nerve endings are directly linked to the nervous system, and by applying pressure to them, reflexology can:
Improve nerve and blood supply
Relieve stress and tension
Encourage the body to achieve homeostasis (internal balance)
Stimulate the lymphatic and endocrine systems
Support detoxification and energy flow
By addressing these reflex points, reflexology promotes a holistic sense of wellbeing and may also assist in managing various health issues.
