About Reflexology
Alternative Health > About Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural healing art that uses reflexes in your feet and hands to increase circulation and muscle functioning. The basic principle in reflexology is that the reflexes in your feet and hands correspond to every other part of your body. By applying pressure to these certain areas, you can heal different ailments. It is not massage, it is a different type of rubbing and massaging to make many health problems go away. It is also said to increase self esteem, confidence, concentration and memory.
Before you sign yourself up for a reflexology session, you should make sure that you don’t eat for at least one hour beforehand. Within a half an hour of your reflexology massage, drink warm water. Take care not to apply a lot of pressure to your bones before you go in for your session either.
Reflexology is not new. In fact, it has been around since at the very least, the Egyptian culture. Only hands are used during reflexology. It is extremely safe and effective and will promote the well-being of your entire body and mind. It cannot make a condition worse and will relax any stress you have been feeling.
If you are interested in reflexology sessions, you will spend anywhere from $24-100 per hour. It depends on where you are looking to have your session performed. As with all alternative health remedies, you can opt to go the expensive route or save money on student practitioners. Spas, free standing businesses and holistic spas will offer Reiki for more expensive prices but they will have the most talented practitioners. Extras are often included, like facials or samples of beauty products. Some fancier spas even treat you to a light lunch or at the least, offer coffee and tea before and after your treatment.
To keep the cost of Reiki down but still be able to enjoy its benefits, check out the holistic college or community college nearest you. They will offer their services at very cheap prices. Instructors are always around and will be able to address any concerns you might have. But, it’s rare that someone leaves a student practitioner disappointed because they are determined to do their best.
So, if you’ve been feeling depressed or have mystery pain in your back that just won’t go away, why not give Reiki a try? It may seem strange at first to have someone rubbing your feet to rid you of chronic migraines but go along with it. You just may find that Reiki works for you when all else has failed. Natural remedies are much safer than some other treatments and usually end up benefiting much more than the one spot you were focusing on to begin with. Your mood, outlook and emotional well-being is often improved and is a pleasant side effect of Reiki and other holistic practices. Try it out and see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
