Get to Know More About Reflexology

What is reflexology? It is not just a term, it is a study and practice on its own. It is a non-invasive technique that not only reduces stress, but can also help the body’s natural healing process. With several places of origin, reflexology has been practiced since thousand of years ago from China, India, Africa to the Native America. 

The earliest discovery on reflexology was found in Egypt. Researchers have found the hieroglyphic mural in the pyramid located in Saggara. The mural which depicts patients having treatments done on their hands and feet. So why do people love to get reflexology, massages and its similar treatment in nature. This is because it offers a high level of safety and effectiveness. It also provides natural treatment without consuming or injecting drugs into the body. 

Foot Reflexology Chart – True or Bogus?

The typical foot reflexology chart below shows which body parts and organs are believed to be connected, via invisible energy channels, also known as Chi in the Chinese tradition. Depending on the practitioners’ roots of philosophy, the chart may differ. During reflexology, the applied pressure on the sole can unblock the flow of energy (Chi). The practitioners believe they can restore balance to the energy flow. Thus, it helps the body to recover, revitalise and re-energise. 

Science Discovery on The Chart

A lot of reflexology researches have been done but no conclusive evidence presented either anatomically or physiologically to verify that energy channels actually connect the various parts of your body to the soles of your feet. However, the British scientists discovered the connection between skin and the internal organs back in the 19th century. Practitioners believe they can help calm and soothe nervous system distress and emotional turmoil.
