Reflexology is an incredible system of massage, of touch, that looks to treat illness and relieve interior bodily tension. It is based on the theory that reflex points on the head, feet, and hands are linked to every element in the body. Of the head, hand, and foot, the Reflexologist looks to the feet, the mechanisms by which you move from place to place, as the microcosm of the greater human body. This doesn’t seem like a far reach. After all: your foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, 107 ligaments, 26 bones, and 19 muscles. Incredible. According to the Reflexologist, the feet represent every organ and every body part. Your two lungs are represented in each foot; your two kidneys are represented on each foot, as well. However, the liver—a singular organ n the body, is represented on the right foot, while the heart is represented on the left foot. In fact, the entire right side of the body is represented in the right foot, while the left side of the body is represented in

the left foot. The left foot further presents understanding of the body’s pastand future. 

Wherever an interior organ is represented on the foot, this particular part is called the “organ reflex.” Therefore, where the heart is represented on the left foot, you call this the “heart reflex.” Reflexology introduces a drugless therapy: one that emphasizes the importance of touch in order to provide healing. It looks to alter the body and create a physiological change by improving your body’s circulation. Through enhanced circulation, your body reduces its tension and can further create relaxed feelings. Furthermore, this enhanced circulation eliminates your body’s waste and restores other bodily functions. Reflexology has been proven to reduce bodily pain and decrease anxiety and depression symptoms. Some proponents believe that reflexology can treat diabetes, cancer, and asthma. It is a completely safe, side effect free treatment that is essential in the

betterment of human health.
