WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?  HOW DOES REFLEXOLOGY WORK?

Reflexology is a science that follows the principle that the body is reflected in a mirror image of reflexes on the feet, hands and ears.  All organs, glands and body parts are able to be stimulated through these reflexes or energy channels or nerve endings, creating Homeostasis.  Homeostasis is the correct “balance” of your body and its systems.

There are a number of theories and practices, ranging from Zone Therapy, Accupressure and Meridian Channels to Nerve Stimulation.   Explained below are the basics of Zone Therapy which is a good starting point to understanding for yourself how to find the appropriate reflexes.
