Reflexology Benefits 
9 ways it can improve your health

Reflexology benefits include stimulation of the reflex points on the feet, that help the body to heal and improve physical well-being. 

This therapy is a non-invasive technique that can lower stress, encourage healing, improve circulation, cleanse toxins from the body, and increase energy.

Over 7,000 nerve endings are located in the foot. They are called reflexes and they correspond to every organ and system within the body. Light pressure on these points can bring about a response from the nerves that helps re-balance the body.  

This massage clears energy pathways that have been blocked.  By helping the foot to relax, the blood supply flows more freely, the nerves relax, and everything functions better.

With this therapy, you can ease back aches, neck pain, PMS, TMJ, hip pain, and any other areas that ache or have pains, simply by  stimulating the reflex area that corresponds to that pain ...in the foot, on the hands or around the ears.
