What is reflexology?


Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques with the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.


Around the world and throughout history reflexology has been rediscovered and reinstated as a health practice time and time again by peoples around the globe seeking to deal with health concerns. Archeological evidence Egypt (2330 BCE), China (2704 BCE) and Japan (690 CE) points to ancient reflexology medical systems. In the West the concept of reflexology began to emerge in the 19th century, based on research into the nervous system and reflex. While no direct evidence of direct cross-fertilization from ancient times has been discovered, the practice of foot and hand work in a variety of cultures, belief systems and historical periods speaks to reflexology for health as a universal bridging concept.


In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body, they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and give body's equilibrium.
Whether
reflexology can benefit certain conditions and diseases in still under investigation. Further scientific study need to be done in order to come to some definite benefits of reflexology in regard to illness and disease.
Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as medical advice. It should not be a replacement to medical help.

Reflexología


La reflexología es una técnica oriental destinada a equilibrar la energía del organismo mediante masajes en los pies y manos, donde se encuentran los puntos reflejos que corresponden a cada zona del cuerpo. Los efectos generales de esta técnica son producir estimulación en el sistema nervioso, circulatorio y glandular, influyendo así en el sistema de defensa del organismo.

El masaje libera los elementos de desecho, induciendo a un estado de relajación.


La reflexología ayuda en afecciones respiratorias, digestivas y nerviosas. Sin embargo, no existe una respuesta bien definida que responda a la pregunta de por qué los masajes en los pies producen resultados tan notables.


Lo que se conoce hasta hoy es que la planta de los pies proporciona infomación muy importante dentro del sistema de comunicaciones corporales y esta relación contribuye al estado general del cuerpo.


La reflexología tiene sus limitaciones, ya que no cura enfermedades sino que las alivia.
