Reflexology:
Reflexology is a term that refers to the stimulation of the feet and hands in order to affect other parts of the body via specific points that are called Microsystems. The Microsystems in one part of the body (i.e. on the foot) contain a representation or "map" of the entire body that can be stimulated to enhance the natural healing processes. The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to the human race for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian people who observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot, mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part of the body. This is because as a tiny cell, the brain and feet are one. As the cell grows and elongates, both feet and hands separate from the brains but everything is still connected through the reflex zone. Therefore, when pressure is applied to the big toes for instance, there is a related effect in the head. Treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and therapeutic effect on the whole body.
