There are about 7,000 nerve endings in the human foot. Each of these nerve endings are reflex points corresponding to a body part. For this reason, the underfoot body map should be learned in detail by reflexologists. Reflexologists apply massage with special finger and thumb movements to stimulate reflex points. By learning the reflexology map, one learns exactly which part of the foot corresponds to which body part. When a certain pressure is applied to the regions and reflex points on the reflexology map, the movement of energy along the nerve channels is stimulated. As a result, the homeostasis balance in the body can be restored.
What is reflexology face, hand and foot map?
There is a map of the whole body on the hands and soles of the feet. The hand and foot map forms the basis of reflexology. In addition to this, ear reflexology map regions also stimulate the organs in the body. The ear is divided into 6 regions. Reflexology ear points are the back and shoulders, organs, joints, nasal sinuses and throat, digestion and head, areas corresponding to the heart. Each organ in the body has a specific communication point in certain areas on the hands and soles. When pressure is applied to these points, our organs activate and function properly.
When you have a problem in any organ, you can activate that organ by massaging or applying pressure to the area showing that organ, and support the healing process. Reflexology facial massage, hand and foot massage are applied over certain points:
- Facial reflexology points can reduce heart pain at the tip of the nose, lip line and chin. Abdominal pain around the eyes and cheeks, spleen and pancreatic pain in the lower part of the jaw can be reduced.
- The underfoot body map can be said to be a map of the entire body on the soles of your feet. There are areas under the feet that can reach all points in the body such as all organs, lymph, muscles, goiter and adrenal glands.
- Hand reflexology points, on the other hand, can be reached many points in the body with applications made on many points such as fingertips, palms, and fingertips.
Reflexology improves bladder function by improving blood circulation. This helps to reduce the possibility of urinary tract infection. It should also be remembered that although reflexology is an old form of treatment and has been used effectively for centuries, it should be seen as an additional treatment to your doctor’s official medical advice and prescribed medical treatments. After getting an expert opinion, you can start the most appropriate treatment process for yourself.
What is reflexology massage good for?
It opens the neural pathways of reflexology and as a result, the nervous system makes the body more relaxed. Reflexology massage can provide plenty of relaxation in your system and calm your body and mind. Reflexology using this method can improve insomnia and sleep disorders. It is also used to help your body return to its normal, healthy rhythms. As our bodies age, nerve endings in the extreme parts of our bodies begin to become less sensitive. Opening and clearing nerve pathways can help improve the functionality and flexibility of nerves and cells in various organs of the body. Neural pathways are essentially like muscles. Keeping nervous behaviors active is very important for your health.
When you stimulate your nerves and open your nerve pathways, information can flow into your brain much faster and more effectively. This helps your brain process information faster. This results in much faster cognitive and physical reactions and an increase in your memory. The most well-known benefit of effective reflexology is the improvement of blood circulation throughout your body. This means that blood, along with oxygen, enters the circulation and is delivered to the body more efficiently. Improvement in the circulation is to increase the functions and reach more oxygen to the vital organ systems, which further activates the metabolism. The removal of oxygen from the body also allows damaged cells to regenerate and re-grow faster.
