More Background on Reflexology
The human body is a delicately balanced machine that is synergetic - everything working together for the benefit of all. You can compare it to a racing machine, which works best when it’s in tune, each part functioning at its peak and all parts working in harmony to make the machine work at optimum capability.
It is believed in ancient China that the bottoms of the feet can be divided into 25 parts, each representing different parts of the body. Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands that correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers on these reflex areas. Reflexology includes, but is not limited to, relieving stress and tension, improving blood supply and promoting the unblocking of nerve pulses, and helping nature achieve homeostasis.
Reflexology Relaxes Tension
Since approximately 75% of today’s diseases are attributable to stress and tension, various body systems are affected in different ways and to varying degrees. One person may exhibit cardiovascular problems, another gastrointestinal upset, palpitations, sweating, headaches…to mention but a few of the myriad of bodily reactions to stress.
Reflexology Improves Nerve and Blood Supply
In order to keep the body as a normal balance, it is imperative that the blood and nerve supply to every organ and gland be at a maximum. Of course, the organs and glands contribute to the overall well-being of the body, each making contributions to maintaining an efficient, fully operating mechanism, but receiving their instructions from the most intricate of all networks- the nerves.
These cord-like structures, comprised of a collection of nerve fibers, convey impulses between a part of the central nervous system and other regions of the body. They are the wiring system of the house you call your body. As with any complex wiring system, a short circuit can mean trouble.
A short circuit is often caused by tension putting pressure on a vital nerve plexus or even a single nerve structure supplying a vital organ. As tension is eased, pressure on the nerves and vessels is relaxed, thus improving the flow of blood and its oxygen-rich nutrients to all parts of the body.
Reflexology Helps Nature Achieve Homeostasis
Overactive glands or organs can be helped to return to normal. Conversely, if an organ or a gland is under-active, Reflexology can help return it to its normally functioning level. It is important to note here that the normalization action of Reflexology is never one of opposite extreme. In other words, once homeostasis or a normal condition is achiever, it cannot be unbalanced by working the area too much. Over working can cause some minor reactions such as diarrhea or perhaps some nasal mucus being secreted (runny nose). These reactions are cleansing the poisons from-the body. Reflexology cannot harm a system; it simply brings it back into balance.
The Zone Therapy
Reflexology embodies the relationship of the reflexes in the feet to all of the glands and organs in the body. Let’s now discuss this relationship. Just how does one small area of the foot affect something like the pituitary glad? What is the link?
This is where the ZONE THEORY becomes significantly important to every Reflexologist. The zones are like the wiring in a house, the reflexes travel through the zones similar to electricity through the wires. But please note that this analogy is not to be confused with the nervous system in the body…reflexes, as far as we know today, are not nerves.
This line from the feet to the organs and the glands in the body is a series of imaginary longitudinal lines, each encompassing a zone. In order to locate the zones accurately in the arms and hands, the thumbs need to be placed toward the body, the opposite of the anatomical position.
The word “zone” is used for several significant reasons. There are ten zones. Easy enough to remember: one for each finger, and one of each toe. Zone one starts at the thumb and great toe. These zones run the length of the body, from the top of the head to the tips of the toes.
It is extremely important that Reflexologists become zone oriented, so they must be thoroughly familiar with the basic zones and the anatomy associated within them. An organ or a glad found in a specific zone will have its reflex in the corresponding zone of the foot. Any sensitivity located in a specific area on the foot will signal to you that there could be congestion in that area. It should become evident then, that by working the entire foot, you are affecting the entire side of the body, (the left foot representing the left half of the body). It is important to remember another significant aspect of Reflexology: an abnormality in any part of the zone may affect anything in that zone.
