What is Reflexology?
Sometimes called zone therapy, Reflexology is a therapy or
treatment where nerve endings in the hands or feet are stimulated by applying
varying degrees of pressure in a massage-like technique to bring about
changes in elsewhere in the body in order to improve health and assist on the
bodies self-healing process.
Reflexology treatment will often take an hour or more and
six to eight sessions are generally a good idea. A trained reflexologist
will usually take a medical case history at your first appointment.
Reflexology is traditionally done with the feet although it may be done with
the hands.
Reflexology consists of gentle, but firm, compression
to your feet sometimes with talcum powder but not oil. The reflex
points are frequently tiny so the reflexologist will be very precise.
Some parts of the feet will feel tender and this often relates to areas
in the body where pain is felt. Some reflexologists will train you to
treat yourself at home by showing you where to press.

Question - Was Reflexology Discovered in Egypt?
Answer - An Egyptian pictograph showing someone working on someone else's
hands and feet is a clear indication that something of significance was
happening to the feet and hands. A number of specialists in Egyptology have
indicated that the action depicted is the prelude to surgery.

Jeff - Diabetes:
Gateways to Health and Harmony with Reflexology
Reflexology
DIABETES MELLITUS (Mellis means sweet: Greek) occurs as a result of
diminution or absence of insulin supplied by the beta cells of the Islets of
Langerhans.
Jeff was in his sixties when he came to me having suffered from diabetes for
many years. His diabetes had been very difficult to control all his life, and he
had suffered as a result arterial corrosion of the eyes and the kidneys. He had
also had two mild heart attacks. At the time of coming to see me his main
problem was an inability to walk any great distance because of intermittent
claudication in his legs, which meant that after very short periods of walking
he had cramp-like seizures in his calf muscles which made him have to stop
whatever he was doing. The main sensitivities which appeared in the feet were in
the eyes, kidneys, heart and groin areas. This indicated the arteriosclerosis
that he suffered due to the diabetes.
He was constantly exhausted and had a very restricted lifestyle, although he
did take quite an interest in his engineering company, which he had built up
over 30 years. He was treated very regularly over a period of eight weeks with
hardly any results, which made me feel that perhaps this treatment was going to
be of little support for him. However, he was insistent on continuing, and I am
so pleased that he did because on the ninth treatment he suffered quite a severe
reaction to the treatment.
An angry rash appeared all over his body. He had excessive bowel actions,
which was most unusual for him as normally he suffered from constipation and had
to rely on laxatives to help any bowel action. After this rather major cleansing
of the system he began to make great strides. The main benefit he achieved was
the ability to walk distances; the breathless condition which resulted from his
mild heart attacks improved considerably; and he was able to take an interest in
jobs in the garden which previously had been completely out of the question.
Jeff was very impressed by the benefits of Reflexology and after three months
(12 treatments carried out consistently on a weekly basis) his improvement was
so marked that he suggested that he would like to come to have a regular
Reflexology treatment every fortnight. This he did and he lived for another nine
years, constantly having Reflexology; he described it as his life support.
During the nine years of treatment from me he hardly ever had a problem with
maintaining his insulin (blood sugar) levels, which was very encouraging as
previously he had had no end of increases and then decreases in his insulin
injections in an attempt to try to control his very difficult condition.
Jeff was a fine man. He was over-generous to all who came his way, was loved
by all members of his staff and family, and when he died (he did in fact die of
kidney failure), he left a large sum of money to the Diabetic Trust.
The eye reflexes were sensitive in both feet.
The kidneys were also very painful.
The damage to the heart was apparent from the reaction in the heart reflex
area.
Congestion in the groin area revealed the congestion in the arteries which
caused the cramp-like seizures in his legs (intermittent claudication).

Reflexology Schools
Reflexology Schools teach reflexology therapy, (an ancient art practiced by
early Egyptians) and the science founded on the basis that areas of the feet,
hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas (which correspond to all
glands, organs, and bodily systems). Reflexology schools instruct a therapeutic
technique whereby pressure is applied to these reflex areas. Through reflexology
school training, students are taught to reduce stress by using thumb, finger and
hand methods. Reflexology ...
