Reflexology

Reflexology has been around for millennia. It is a technique formerly practiced by the Egyptians, Chinese and Japanese. Reflexology is a manual, global and energetic therapy that aims to restore the body's balance (homeostasis) and help it self-heal. Depending on the problem, reflexology is mainly pressure applied to areas linked to the organs/parts of the body that we want to stimulate.

In addition to being very pleasant to receive, it has several benefits:

• Activates blood and lymphatic circulation (e.g.: directions: circulatory problems, post-surgery recovery);
• Promotes the elimination of toxins
• Reduces stress considerably while being energizing (e.g.: directions: stress/anxiety, depression, fatigue, nervous disorders, insomnia, etc.)
• Allows the redistribution of energy in the body, organs and systems (eg: directions: digestive, hormonal, nervous problems, etc.)
• Is very analgesic and therefore relieves various ailments (eg. indications : arthritic pain, muscular pain, due to menstruation, etc.)
• Helps strengthen the immune system (eg: directions: prevent or help fight an existing infection)

The human body, in its complexity and in all its aspects, is genius! But that doesn't mean he doesn't need a boost once in a while. The proper functioning of our body depends on the health of its systems and the cells that make it up.

Reflexology would benefit from being better known since it can only improve our quality of life by treating common ailments today.
