Reflexology Basics

By Denise Whichello Brown

Book Overview

Everyone knows the soothing power of a simple foot massage. This feeling of relaxation is enhanced many times over with the science of reflexology. Like mirrors, points on your feet reflect specific organs, joints, and other bodily systems, and applying gentle pressure to these points stimulates the body's ability to heal itself. Press lightly on the base of the big toe, for example, to ease headaches; rotate that same toe to alleviate stiffness in the neck; perform pressure circles on the little toe to relieve bursitis. Whether you target specific problem areas such as ulcers, cystitis, muscle pain, poor skin tone, or digestive disorders, or simply want to promote a general feeling of well-being by cleansing the body of toxins, the benefits of reflexology are almost limitless. Practice the proper techniques and enjoy the healing powers of this simple, totally natural way to restore balance to the body.

Great Material for Beginners

This book has lots of beatiful photographs showing you how to hold the feet, techniques for massaging them, and exactly where to press. The charts show you very clearly what parts of the foot connect to which parts and systems of the body. There is a lot of useful, clearly stated information that would be perfect for the curious beginner.
