Reflexology and the Importance of Touch

Although reflexology is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of problems, your reflexologist cannot diagnose or claim to cure any diseases. They are not medically trained to do so. The practice of reflexology is meant to bring your body to a state of well-being. Only in this state is your body able to heal itself and perform at an optimal level. If your body is full of toxins, your immune system is severely compromised, making you much more likely to succumb to sickness and disease.
Once you have made the decision to visit a trained reflexologist, you may be wondering what you can expect from him or her. You may also be asking yourself, what if I am embarrassed about my feet, or my feet are ticklish, how will I be able to handle the therapy? All of these are viable questions.

I have to say that the healing power of touch has never been so important as it is today. Hyperactivity, Attention Deficit Disorder and Depression are the most common childhood ailments among children today. Moreover, prescriptions for anti-depressants for kids are commonplace. These issues have always existed. What did our ancestors do when they felt depressed or hyper? I will tell you one thing, it wasn't at all what we do today. In our society today, one that relies heavily on chemically laden prescription drugs, psychotherapy and surgical procedures to "heal" the sick, there has never been a better time to look into treatment alternatives. If you have children with behavioral problems, or children that tend to catch a new cold each time the wind blows, it may be time for you to look at reflexology as an alternative or supplemental treatment.

All of us have the gift of healing in our hands; it is all in how you use it. You instinctively use your hands to heal. Parents, what happens when your child bangs his head against something, you instinctively put your hand on his or her head right? You are transmitting healing energy without even knowing it.
Reflexology is an ancient form of healing which stimulates energy points in the feet, hands and body. It is one modality that effectively transmits healing energy and is the perfect tool for developing attachment between an infant and a parent.

At this point the therapy will begin. It will usually start with rubbing of the ears, hands or feet and then will turn into pressing. It closely mimics acupuncture, but without needles. By pressing in certain areas of the feet, hands and even the ears, the brain will send signals and release neurochemicals to stop pain and relieve tension.
Probably one of the biggest expectations is the relaxation factor. It is true; you will become very relaxed during the therapy. Believe it or not, some people even fall asleep. It is one of the single most powerful ways to relax and eliminate stress in your body. Once you try it you will be a believer, furthermore you will be hooked.
