Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflex areas on the feet to bring about a state of deep relaxation and to stimulate the body’s own healing processes. It is a natural therapy that can also facilitate more energy, help boost the immune system and create a stronger body and calmer mind. Reflexology is a safe, natural therapy that helps to give your body what it needs – that might be a reduction in the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, assistance in losing weight or feeling younger and looking healthier. You will discover how reflexology can help you achieve and fulfill both emotional and physical goals.
