Reflexology Massage Background
Reflexology is an ancient science with its roots in China and India . It is a therapy based on the concept that the organs of the human body are mapped on his or her foot. Quite interesting, right? Well based on this science the following map is charted out.
• Your toes represent your head
• Your balls of the foot represent your ribcage
• Your heels represent your pelvic area and so on.
Reflexology can be either tried on one's foot or hand. When you are applying reflexology on someone then foot is the best option. Moreover our feet are of such form that are hands find it easy to work them. When you are applying reflexology on yourself, you can try it out on your hands too.
Reflexology has more than one benefit. It ‘s most important benefit is the fact that it completely relaxes the human body and helps one drive away the tension that piles on his head all day long. So after a long and tiring day, nothing can relax you more than Reflexology. Another great aspect about reflexology is the fact that it helps relieve one from pain and ailments like sinus and digestive problems. Moreover it also helps to rejuvenate one and detoxify one. So in a way we can say that it boosts our skin. Our body has its own way of mechanism. It has its own way of detoxifying us- for example with the help of kidney or colon and so on. However sometimes when these things are not working properly then toxins may make home in our body. This is when reflexology helps our organs function better.
It is extremely easy to apply reflexology on oneself. You can
apply reflexology on your hands for convenience or your foot if you can.
Whenever you experience some sort of discomfort in the form of pain in your
body you will notice that the part of your body that it is represented by
swells up. So, all you need to do is gently massage that sore part of your body
and Voila!! You will realize that all your pain has disappeared Say, for
example your rib are is hurting you will notice that the area around your ankle
is swollen up. You need to massage that area gently and you will notice that
your pain has disappeared. This method is useful in combating various ailments
like menstrual cramps and irregularities too. Moreover nowadays you get special
kinds of shoes in the market where the inside of the shoe has certain ridges
made on them that strategically massages key places on your foot to relieve
you.
It is simple when you are applying reflexology on yourself. You will be aware
of whether you are touching the correct key place or not and whether it is
hurting more or not. One does not get this benefit while applying reflexology
on another person. At that point of time only your instinct, your experience
with your own body's key points and your communication skills will help you.
You have to be extra cautious then. A few pointers have to be remembered when
applying reflexology on another person, like:-
• Never do reflexology for more than 20 minutes on a newborn baby. Moreover massage the baby very gently.
• Never massage a pregnant women too much who has a history of miscarriage
• Sometimes there are a few cases like elders with urinary infection who are cannot be massaged.
• You should massage very carefully

• If you see that instead of diminishing the pain is accentuating then stop massaging immediately.
Moreover remember when you are working on another's body it takes time for that person to feel at ease. You will have to be patient with the person in order to derive any result and ease him of the pain.
One important fact to remember is that the pain one experiences sometime is just an indication of some serious kind of ailment that one usually may fail to realize .So be extra cautious.
Reflexology is based on the mechanism of your body itself, so under normal circumstances it should not go wrong. So be careful and enjoy the beautiful world of reflexology!!!!!!!!
