Foot Reflexology Chart - Accupressure

Foot reflexology is a type of holistic healing or alternative medicine. It is also known as zone therapy or foot acupressure. Foot reflexology involves the application of pressure to different points on the underside of the foot, using the tips of the finger or other hand techniques.

According to reflexologists and holistic healers, foot reflexology is based on a system of zones and points, each of which is connected to a specific body part, such as the neck, liver, heart, kidney or thigh. By pressing a particular zone or point on the foot, the health of the corresponding body part has been known to improve.

For example, if you have sinus pain, you should apply pressure to the toes of your feet. Here is a detailed foot reflexology chart, which shows the points/zones corresponding to different body organs.

Foot reflexology works best if you get another person (friend or family member) to press the zones on your feet, rather than bending/ folding your leg and doing it yourself. A great way to ensure that you are always healthy, is to jog for five minutes every morning, without wearing any footwear. This ensures that all the points relating to various body parts, are pressed with the right pressure. This results in overall good health.

If you are not fit enough to jog, try walking with bare feet (shoes, sneakers, slippers, socks etc). If you are not fit enough to walk, simply sit on a bed/chair and slowly move your feet up and down over the floor, applying slight pressure as you do so.

Foot reflexology is a completely free way of healing yourself, and is helpful for those who do not have the money to pay for expensive medical care. It also has no size effects, like medicines.

Benefits of Foot Reflexology 

1. It relieves pain and stiffness in muscles.
2. It can cure symptoms such as headache, stress, asthma, sinusitis, constipation, and migraines; and prevent them from occurring.
3. It improves the blood circulation system, and prevents damage to vital organs like the heart, liver, kidney etc. 

Some medical professionals raise concerns that holistic healing therapies like foot reflexology delay the seeking of appropriate medical treatment for serious illnesses. However, it is important to note that foot reflexology works to prevent health problems from becoming serious, by providing early relief without any side effects.

Medical professionals who object to patients trying foot reflexology are usually simply trying to ensure a regular stream of income for themselves. If patients get cured quickly, how will doctors/pharma companies make money?
