ReflexologyReflexology is another alternative and complementary medicine, which is supposed to be used alongside another treatment so that this can help faster and better improvement of the person.
If you take a look at the reflexology chart you will find out that our body is divided in zones, which are further divided in parts.
In reflexology it is believed that parts of our feet are directly related to the parts of our body, therefore the reflexology chart will tell you which part of the feel relates with which part of our body.
Foot reflexology, or only reflexology as it is termed, is often used by the therapists, to relax, ease and provide proper blood circulation to these parts.
Not just the feet but ears and hands are also a part of reflexology. It is believed that simulating nerves on these parts will help benefit parts related to these zones on the body.
There is no proper explanation for reflexology, some people related to the Chinese medicine take the parts on foot as the energy zones, so if there are lumps on foot, this means that there is energy blockage somewhere in related part of the body and massaging this part would help simulate and ease out pain and tension in the related part of the body.
Reflexology, is not yet a proven medicine, there are questions yet about this type of medicine, therefore, people are in doubt whether this type of alternative therapy should be used in practice instead of some conventional medicine, which is more dependable.
This curiosity about foot reflexology has encouraged more and more studies regarding authenticity and actual usage of reflexology.
Reflexology, therefore should not be used blindly, it should be used only if the doctor advises to do so. Like many other alternative therapies there remain doubts over actual facts about reflexology.
Reflexology is done only on feet, hands and ears unlike complete body, this is said to provide relief from minor aches or pains, but it might not be perfectly suitable for major treatments and illnesses.
Reflexology, might be beneficial or not, but it does have the ability to detect imbalances in the body, this alone makes this alternative therapy as a believable one.
Reflexology would be beneficial if any relation is found between the points mentioned in the foot reflexology chart, if not it can always highlight the imbalances, it does not matter whether this imbalance is an illness or not.
