The Origins of Reflexology

From the evidence that we have, reflexology is known to be more than 4000 years old.

Paintings discovered in the Physician's Tomb at Saqqara, Egypt, dating back to about 2300 DC,

 show an actual reflexology treatment in progress.

 

 

 

The Chinese are also known to have used reflexology in conjunction with acupuncture.

Dr Wang-Wei, a Chinese doctor in the 4th century BC, evidently used to position

acupuncture needles in his patients' bodies and the apply very firm pressure with

his thumbs to the soles of their feet. This pressure was maintained for several minutes

 until the desired therapeutic effects were achieved. Dr Wang-Wei maintained that

as the pressure was applied and maintained, healing energy was released in

the patients' bodies.

 

 

 

Reflexology and the West

Reflexology as we know it in the West has its origins in the study of zone therapy,

 which utilizes the longitudinal lines of energy running up through the body from

 the feet to the brain.

 

 

 

Reflexology is a completely safe form of treatment, as well as being a

 very relaxing and pleasant experience.

 

 

 

The purpose of a course of treatment is to normalize the body's functioning,

 to help to break down tension and alleviate stress, and to improve nerve

functioning and blood supply throughout the body.

 

 

 

Reflexology relieves many of the troublesome complaints as painful backs

 and tension headaches. For example, you are experiencing an unsettled period

 in your life, one that is creating tension and anxiety within you, reflexology could give

 you the support you need in order to cope with your circumstances in a more positive

 frame of mind.

 

 

Reflexology sessions are primarily intended to improve the body's circulation and to

assist the body in speeding up the elimination of waste products, so that toxins do

not have a chance to build up to harmful levels in the liver, kidneys, or bowel.

 

As well, reflexology can help to control the perception of pain by stimulating

the release of endorphins-the body's natural painkillers-from the pituitary gland in

the brain into the bloodstream.

 

 

But reflexology works best when it is used to treat the whole body, rather

 than specific conditions. In this way, it improves all of the body's functions,

 and this, in turn, encourages the natural healing process to work that more

speedily and efficiently.
