Reflexology natural therapy against stress

It was already known four thousand years ago by Chinese and Egyptian civilizations . It was one more specialty of the incipient medical practice of that time. We talk about the reflexology , a technique or complementary therapy and natural, whose objective is to stimulate through massage the reflex areas of the feet that are connected with the parts of the organism that they represent with the purpose of calming certain evils and tensions. This bond is given through more than seven thousand nerve endings located both in the sole as in the part of instep . These areas, which represent all the organs of the body, when stimulated manually achieve calm the pain , facilitate the elimination of toxins , as well as preventing certain diseases and health disorders. It is important to note that therapy is not recommended after eating or in case of having a foot injury, problems venous important, pregnancy or cardiovascular diseases .

The soles of the feet, according to the reflexology

Using maps, the therapist will be responsible for delineating from the first session what are the instances of the therapy to be performed. To work the different points and always considering the person in its entirety, that is, as the union of body and spirit, the therapist will use only his hands. In accordance with María Elena Schiariti , Argentine reflexologist, "the sessions last one hour, the first 20 minutes are for the person who uses reflexology to tell us what is happening to them, what they feel and what are the reasons that prompted them to consult. 40 minutes of massages , 20 for each foot. The idea is to be able to determine the degree of registration that each person has of their own contingencies, since while many arrive with a symptom or specific issue such as headaches or stomach aches; others arrive with more complex situations of stress, anxiety or anguish that will have to be unraveled ".

 


What can be treated with reflexology

The frequency, intensity and duration of the treatment will be determined based on each case and taking into account the different pathologies; although the specialists suggest that the ideal would be to have reflexology as an alternative therapy and complementary to others of a psychological or psychiatric nature. "With the reflexology you can work the stress , the constipation , the anxiety , the anguish and the pain of head to mention some examples; but at the same time when treating all the points of the foot, you start to walk more and better, change the mood and it is possible to face problematic situations like a change, a separation or a work problem with better energy ", added the specialist.
