A brief history of Reflexology
Throughout the history of humankind the feet have played an important part of healing practices. Reflexology goes back to 2500BC and evidence was found in Egypt in the tombs of Ankhmahor (highest official after the Pharaoh) at Saqqara, which is also known as the Physician's Tomb. Traces of the practice dating back to 690 AD were also found in the Physicians Temple in Nara, Japan. As information is gathered it seems that variations of the modern practice of reflexology existed in all of the ancient healing cultures.
Modern history and the scientific basis of reflexology are rooted in research about the reflex in Europe and Russia 125 years ago. It was Dr William Fitzgerald who advanced and developed the initial practice of reflexology in our Western society in 1895.
The most powerful aspect of reflexology (incorporating the metaphysical aspects) is that it is a preventative health care method through dispersing and releasing blocked energy and crystals of calcium and uric acid (toxic wastes) that have built up within the body’s many meridian lines, and unblocks the 7200 reflex points on the foot.
This treatment stimulates and normalizes the three major systems (Circulation, Nervous and Endocrine) and therefore boosts and inspires the immune system which in turn prevents illnesses and dis-eases from occurring. As the reflex zones on the feet are treated, the natural healing forces within the body are released and mobilised, restoring the body to harmony, producing a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well being.
Hippocrates defined health as a balanced state and diseases as an unbalanced state...
reflexology aims to achieve this balance.
