Foot Reflexology: what is it and what are its benefits?
Artepil | 2021-05-19 | Health Tips
Foot reflexology is the use of massage and acupressure techniques on the feet, and is the study of the physical and pathological reflex activity that precedes an illness.
This method of healing is based on the existence of reflex zones in the feet, which represent each organ of the human body. The foot is the thumbnail representation of the human body: each reflex zone corresponds to an organ, a gland or a part of the body. A touch applied to the reflex zones makes it possible to locate tensions and other dysfunctions. The activation of certain points on the foot by simple pressure allows acting on the organs in imbalance to improve their condition and revitalize them.
Reflexology acts both preventive and curative on the physical and emotional balance of people.
