Experience the ancient art of healing with Chinese Reflexology

Part of traditional Chinese medicine is the ancient art of healing by working pressure points on the feet, hands and ears corresponding to different parts of the body. It is believed that following illness, injury or stress, the vital energy pathways in the body are blocked preventing the body from functioning normally. Chinese reflexology helps unblock these pathways by ridding the body of toxins and improving blood circulation. This restores the body's equilibrium, encourages healing and strengthens the body.

How Reflexology can help you

As reflexology is holistic (treating the whole body rather than individual symptoms) most people benefit from it, and it is suitable for people of all ages. For each person the effects of the therapy are unique and it has proved especially effective when a course of treatment is followed:

Stress Relief
Body and Mind
Relaxation Relief from Hand and Foot ailments
Improve Blood circulation
Menstrual problems
High blood pressure
Constipation and IBS
Insomnia
Asthma
Headaches and migraines
Sinus problems
Depression
Comfort during Pregnancy (and post-natal)
Muscular/skeletal pain
Post-operative recovery
Additionally, many people value reflexology as a way of pampering themselves - an antidote to the strains of modern     living.

Foot Reflexology involves exerting pressure in sweeping movements on the various points of the feet with stimulating foot cream. The feet are kept warm for improved circulation and the patient drinks warm fluids such as green tea throughout the session. Chinese Reflexology also stimulates and energizes the patient and is therefore ideal for people who need a physical recharge or whose immune systems need a boost.
Ear Reflexology is a diagnostic and healing treatment that stimulates points on the ear that correspond to different parts of the body. Pioneering work by the Chinese over the last 40 years has lead to the World Health Organization authorizing the standardization of the points on the ear in 1990. They defined 91 auricular points. The ear is connected to every part of the body because of the ceaseless circulation of energy and blood through these meridians and vessels. The points for Ear Reflexology are similar to those in auricular therapy (ear acupuncture). A sensitive point is identified with either a finger or a small blunt stick. By attaching a seed with a plaster on to a sensitive defined point the patient can easily work when required between treatments. It is believed that Ear Reflexology works by directly stimulating the central nervous system.
Ear Reflexology can benefit you in many ways, but the most notable is the instant relief of pain. It can also be used for clearing infections, lowering blood pressure and balancing hormones. Ear Reflexology is commonly used with foot and hand reflexology and can confirm a diagnosis suggested by imbalances in the feet and hand reflex points.
