What is Reflexology and How Does It Work

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that aims to treat the mind, body and spirit, encouraging the body to work naturally to restore its own balance. Tiny nerve endings in the feet and hands correspond to different areas and organs of the body.
How does reflexology work?
Through stimulation and applying gentle pressure to the reflex points using the thumbs and fingers, the therapist aims to create an involuntary reaction in a particular area or organ. Thus restoring circulation, clearing toxins and balancing energy - homeostasis. Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe but reflexology works extremely well alongside conventional medicine. This therapy encourages the body to heal itself after illness or injury, it is extremely effective in relieving stress and inducing deep relaxation and therefore maintaining well being once good health has been restored.

In this lens I have acknowledged that not everyone can afford to attend a beauty salon or a treatment room for reflexology. What I have tried to do is pull together 10 pieces of equipment which will enable you afford to have a reflexology session in the comfort of your own home.

Great quality kit. Would definitely recommend, especially for athletes. Love the wooden products but would have liked the largest roller to have been shaped more like the foot roller. This kit makes leg massage relatively difficult as the smaller roller is too small for legs, but the largest roller is not the appropriate shape.

An excellent foot massager. This item is used by professional physiotherapist in order to reduce Plantar fasciitis. I bought it and use it daily. Both ends are useful - the roller at the beginning of the treatment and the other end for a deeper, and more focused massage. I highly recommend it.

Foot Reflexology Sandals

Improve circulation, accelerate metabolism and revitalize energy levels

It is believed by all reflexologists that the sole of the foot mirrors the body, with the left foot reflecting the left side of the body and the right foot the right side. Hence, it is deduced that pressing the sole in the opposite place will cause an advantageous effect to be felt in the respective part of the body. As mentioned, a perceptive area in the foot indicates a problem in the consequent organ in the body. Pressing on the appropriate trouble-spot can be an effective way of relieving pain and helping to restore the body's natural balance. It can also reduce stress, improve circulation, accelerate metabolism and revitalize energy levels.

I can't wear these sandals for very long walking around, but I do sit at the computer or on the couch with them and massage my feet. You get a great work out wearing them, though it's a bit painful to walk in them. I don't think they are made to walk in anyway, but since they didn't come with instructions, I just do what feels right.

Purchased the foot massager for my wife for Christmas. She was a little apprehensive about it at first having only used water soaking styles of massagers in the past. She absolutely loves the massager and is continuously finding new settings and ways to use it. Very well built and versatile. Well worth the money.

I read some reviews on this before buying and they were mixed. For 17 bucks I went ahead and purchased it and have been happy with my decision. I use it for my feet and usually just roll it around while watching tv or at work at my desk. I rec'd the items on time and in perfect condition. This is the best foot massager for a great price.

Acu-Life Massage Sandals

Brown with Velcro

Massage Sandals Brown 11 w/ Velcro Toe Strap. Acu-Life Massage Sandals are based on the principle of reflexology, which has been practiced for at least 5000 years. Reflexologists believe that each important organ and muscle is connected by a network of nerves to a tiny point on the foot where energy terminates. Pressure applied to these nerve endings by Acu-Life's hundreds of little rubber "fingers" creates a stimulus. This sets in motion an electrochemical impulse, thus releasing healthful energy along the nerve to corresponding organs.

Bottom line, my daily knee pain (I have a plate with 13 screws) is gone. It was 1 week of torture to get used to the sandal but once you brave it,
it's all gravy after that. I suggest 5 days with socks then 2 days with no socks.

    Reflexology works! I had my feet worked on by a professional years ago for a sore jaw that I got from a dentist. I had the pain for 6 months. The next day after our session the pain was gone and never returned!

    Oh I had no idea you could get these items. I do reflexology on my hands and feet everyday. The sandals would be so beneficial. Thank you for the information.
