Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance.
Is Reflexology New?
The idea behind Reflexology is not new - in fact, it was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer of this field. Her first book on the subject was published in 1938. And since 1942, Reflexology workshops have been conducted year round.
What Is The Ingham Method™?
It is the combined work of the late Eunice Ingham and her nephew Dwight C. Byers, the world’s leading authority on Foot Reflexology. Mr. Byers, director of the International Institute of Reflexology®.
Reflexology is for adults, infants and babies alike. It is very beneficial, as it can bring relief wherever and whenever it is need. Baby reflexology is a more gentle form of reflexology, which involves smoothing and stroking movements, over the reflex areas of the feet. It not only helps your baby, but you too will feel less stressed knowing you have the tools to help you, literally at your finger tips.
