Learning reflexology is much simpler than you may think and with the following information, along with the many free reflexology charts below, will help get you on the road to healing yourself and your family with reflexology massage.
For the purposes of reflexology, the feet and hands are microcosms of the human body on which every organ and body part is represented. Where there are two organs in the body they will be represented on both feet and on both hands – for example, the lungs and kidneys. Where there is only one organ, it will be represented on one foot or hand. The liver will be on the right foot/hand while the heart will be on the left, for example.
The point where an organ or body part is reflected on the foot and hand is called the organ reflex – for example, the heart reflex. The right foot and hand represent the right side of the body (as well as the past) while the left foot and hand represent the left side of the body (as well as the present and future).
Stimulation of these reflexes serves to relax and normalize all functions of the body in order to promote a natural balance and revitalization. In ancient times, walking barefoot over rocks and hard ground naturally stimulated these reflexes every day.
By applying pressure on specific areas of the feet or hands, a reflexologist can stimulate corresponding organs or glands. For instance, the pressure is applied to the big toe to affect the pituitary gland and the four other toes are stimulated to affect the brain, sinuses, eyes, and ears. Because internal organs like the lungs and the kidneys cannot be directly massaged, reflexologists believe that the feet, hands, and ears are an appropriate alternative.
