Reflexology is an ancient holistic healing art, based on the
principle
that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that link to
every part, organ and gland of the body. The entire body is
mapped on the feet. By using specific
pressure techniques, energy blocks may be detected through the
experience of tenderness, or through the presence of "gritty areas",
often referred to as crystal deposits. Reflexology is designed to
dissipate energy blocks, and break down crystalline structure.
Reflexology promotes the body's ability to heal itself by stimulating
the circulatory and lymphatic systems, and by encouraging the release
of toxins.
