Reflexology-+Lara

A form of alternative medicine which involves applying pressure to the feet and hands.
 * Reflexology:**

//There are reflex areas in the feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body.// While there is no scientific evidence of neurological pathways between these body parts, the idea of connections throughout the body is present in many forms of alternative medicine such as auricular acupuncture which believes that the shape of the ear represents a foetus and that acupuncture on the ear can be used to stimulate certain parts of the body.

//Applying pressure to these reflex areas can promote health in a given area.// Pressure recieved in the feet may send signals that balance the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce stress and pain. //Reflexology can reduce anxiety and insomnia.// Massaging the feet causes the patient to relax, in turn helping them control their stress

//Reflexology can cleanse the body of toxins.// Reflexology increases blood circulation in an area, which can help remove toxins from the body and reoxygenate the area.
