Modern reflexology is based on an ancient form of therapy. There is evidence of some form of foot and hand therapy being practised in China as long ago as 4,000 B.C. and also at the same time in Egypt. It is believed that reflexology can benefit health in the following ways: Improved blood circulation:
Due to a sedentary lifestyle, some don’t use the feet muscles properly and wear tight footwear. This hampers the circulation of blood in the feet. Frequent foot massage helps in transporting oxygen to the body’s cells, which is essential for overall health.
Fights depression:
Foot massage and reflexology help in fighting depression. Certain points on the feet are helpful in alleviating depression symptoms. Massaging these points or applying pressure to them can help relieve symptoms of depression.
Helps in relaxation:
After a tiring and stressful day, a foot massage is a soothing and relaxing way to end your day.
Promotes better sleep:
A soothing and relaxing foot massage improves the blood circulation. This helps in getting a peaceful sleep.
Relieves body pains:
This is the best part of reflexology. If done carefully, it treats pains and aches such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, lower and upper backaches.
