How does Reflexology Work?

    There is not one simple answer for how reflexology works.  There are several possible ways that reflexology works.  Perhaps it's not one suggestion/method exclusively, but a combination of many factors.

    
     During a reflex session you will experience many stress and relaxation techniques.  High stress levels can lead to many health problems.  Thus, reducing stress levels may promote better health.
    The feet and hands mirror the body.  A soreness on a reflex of the hands of feet may indicate excessive toxins or an a problem in the area of the body corresponding to that reflex.  Compressing or stimulating the reflexes can promote detoxification, which may promote better health.  The somato visceral reflex means that some part of the foot affects some part of the body.
    The nerve endings in the feet and hands connect reflexes to every organ and muscle of the human body.  If there is an ailment in your body, that reflex will be sensitive.  By stimulating and relaxing the areas of the hands and feet that correspond with a specific body part increased electrical stimulation and blood circulation will follow.  The healing properties of oxygen and nutrients in the blood can now flow freely to these areas to promote healing.
    Touch can lead to changes in body chemistry.   Compression of the reflexes releases many neurochemicals, such as endorphins and enkephalins which are the bodies natural pain relieving compounds.  
    Traditional Chinese Medicine suggest that the body depends on proper energy flow through 12 pairs of meridians (energy pathways), in order for health and harmony to occur.   An acupressure practitioner will work acupoints along the body to unblock and balance energy flow through the meridians.  Reflexology works some of the acupoints along the feet and hands, which can promote a healing affect.
    The hands and feet occupy much space in the brain.  Reflexology accesses the brain by working the hands and feet.  There are direct nerve connections in the hands and feet.  Toxins, in the form of crystals, can accumulate on nerve endings.  Compression of the reflexes can help release these toxins, which can promote better health.
    There is an energy exchange between the Reflexologist and the client.  This leads to a discussion of many more natural healing modalities.  However, our point here, is that a positive energy exchange can promote better health and healing.  Love is also transferred between the Reflexologist and client.  This effect can not be measured by science.
    A relaxing peaceful environment, a pleasant smell, a joyful sound, and an appealing atmosphere can all promote health and relaxation.   Each individual is different and what works for one may not work for another and vice versa.  
    You intent may help reflexology promote health and wellness.  Mind over matter or faith that something will work, may help it to work.  Often if you have faith or believe that something will work, it will.  Do not live in fear and doubt, and enjoy good health naturally.
