Reflexology is a natural, healing therapy, derived from ancient Chinese and Indian therapeutic techniques. It is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, feet and ears that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body, making them a vital map of the body. The reflexologist applies pressure to these reflexes which stimulates more than 7,000 nerves when touching the feet, encouraging the opening and clearing of neural pathways.
Reflexology reduces stress and induces deep relaxation, improves circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, balances the whole system and revitalizes energy.

The body has built-in mechanisms for cleansing itself, mainly the lymphatic and elimination systems (lymph, kidneys, colon, skin). If these become blocked or function improperly, toxins or waste matter build up. By deepening relaxation, reflexology causes all the systems of the body to function more efficiently and encourages detoxification.
