Foot Reflexology – The Foot Map to Greater Health and Well-Being

Foot Reflexology is a relaxing holistic foot massage that is an ancient art of applying pressure and massage to reflex points on the feet. It was practised thousands of years ago in Ancient Egypt, India, China and Indonesia.

Possible Reactions

Some people may find they feel relaxed and sleepy after a treatment. They may feel tired and need to rest a while. You may experience a term called a ‘Healing Crisis’ reaction involving the body getting rid of toxins. This could increase urination and bowel movements. You could also feel coldness or nausea; these reactions should pass in a few hours or a couple of days.

To gain maximum benefit from your reflexology treatment, try to rest afterwards and drink plenty of water, to flush away toxins.
