Reflexology

Reflexology is an alternative healing treatment that involves applying pressure as well as the use of massage (or so called effleurage techniques) in a certain way to all parts of the hands and/ or feet. In the hands/ feet there are reflex areas, which relate to all organs and systems within the body and these reflex areas are found on the soles, sides and tops of the feet and similarly in all areas in the hand.

The hands and feet represent a map that corresponds to the whole body. By working the hands and feet it is possible to find out which areas of the body are out of balance and treatment can be given to rebalance the body by stimulating its own healing mechanism. Sometimes the ears can also be used in reflexology and again similar reflex areas exist corresponding to the whole body.

Alternative healing

Hello world is what I believe the traditional way is to start something new in the computer space. And appropriately so as this is intended to be a traditional reference site for all things related to alternative healing.

There are many therapies out there - some a little dodgy to say the least. This blog aims to give a brief outline of different therapies and given an indication to the audience in terms of the number of people that have tried or experimented with those therapies and what their results were. It is not intended to be a comprehensive reference site - just one which gives an introduction to different options you can explore to make an informed decision about your options.

I have both tried and practised a number of different alternative healing therapies from dream therapy to reflexology. Some have worked, others left me drained and feeling worse off than when I started. Not everything works for everyone - you need to find what works for you.
