What Is Reflexology?

Imagine walking in a lightly light, flavored room, taking your shoes and socks, on a relaxed cushioned reflexology table and for the next hour, while a certified reflexologist can nourish your feet, hands and exterior ears, Then you feel deeply relieved after wave of accumulated stress and stress after leaving your body. You feel more comfortable and better than feeling for a while.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REFLEXOLOGY AND ACUPRESSURE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REFLEXOLOGY AND ACUPRESSURE

Both Reflexology and Acupressure fall into the category of Touch Therapy called Reflex therapy. However, they work under every very energetic principles and extremely different reflex point location.

Acupressure deals with over 14 long thin energy lines called meridians that run most of the length of the body. There are more than 800 pressure points along these lines, of which, fewer than 30 are found on the feet and the hands with only one meridian acupressure point on the bottom of the feet, and only one meridian even coming close to the ear, in the crease behind the outer ear.

A One Page Abstract

The following Abstract appears at the beginning of the Research Study Published in 1993 for readers to gain a quick overview of the study to determine if they would like to look into reading the entire published study.

Randomized Controlled Study Of Premenstrual Symptoms
Treated with Ear, Hand, and Foot Reflexology
by Terry Oleson, Ph.D., and William S. Flocco

Objective: To determine whether reflexology therapy – the application of manual pressure to reflex points on the ears, hands, and feet that somatotopically correspond to specific areas of the body – can significantly reduce premenstrual symptoms compared to placebo treatment.

Methods: Thirty-five women who complained of previous distress with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) were randomly assigned to be treated by ear, hand, and foot reflexology or to receive placebo reflexology. All subjects completed a daily diary, which monitored 38 premenstrual symptoms on a four-point scale. Somatic and psychological indicators of premenstrual distress were recorded each day for 2 months before treatment, for 2 months during reflexology and for 2 months afterward. The reflexology sessions for both groups were provided by a trained reflexology therapist once a week for 8 weeks, and lasted 30 minutes each.

Results: Analysis of variance for repeated measures demonstrated a significantly greater decrease in premenstrual symptoms for the women given true reflexology treatment than for the women in the placebo group.

Conclusion: These clinical findings support the use of ear, hand and foot reflexology for the treatment of PMS. (ObstetGynecol 1993;82:906-11)

Reflexology For Emphysema

A 55-year-old lady suffering from emphysema experiences dramatic relief from her symptoms and greater ease of breathing.

Emphysema is surprisingly prevalent among people who smoke pipes, cigars or cigarettes, those who live or work in highly polluted areas, such as around spores, herbicides and pesticides, factories with high air contaminants, or people who live in especially polluted urban centers.

Emphysema results from the breaking down of the little air pockets in the lungs, called alveoli, causing larger spaces. Lungs lose the capacity to take natural fluids or mucus up to the throat and out.  As this condition worsens, people with emphysema develop a cough, because of the fluid build up  in the lungs, the result of the lungs inability to expel the fluids naturally.

Reflexology is the natural health science of applying finger and thumb pressure, using specific techniques, to points found in the feet, hands and outer ears that correspond to reflex maps resembling a shape of the human body. By placing specific finger and thumb pressure on the lung reflexes of the feet, hands and ears, in a surprising number of cases people report relief of their lung related tensions and discomforts.

For Reflexology for emphysema, first go to your feet, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the top of your feet.  Place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.

For Reflexology for emphysema, second go to your hands, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the back of your hands.  As in the feet, place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.

For Reflexology for emphysema, third go to your ears, lung reflexes are located in the lower valley, the recessed area near your ear canal, merely by placing the tip of your index fingers against the part of the ear in the lower valley.  In effect, you will be gently applying pressure directly against the head bone.

It is recommend that you reflex each of these areas for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a day.

When you work on your lung reflexes, if you find tenderness in your feet, hands or ears, look at this tenderness as a gift and spend more time working on tender areas.  Frequently, the result is that people report feeling better in the related part of the body.

It is often recommended to drink an extra glass or two of water to help flush toxins out of the body. If conditions persist, it might be wise to see your primary health care provider.

Like the 55-year-old lady, you or those you work on can experience relief with Reflexology for emphysema.

Reflexology For Vermont Flood Victims

On August 29th Hurricane Irene caused the worst flooding in over a century to small towns in upstate New York, and Southern and Central Vermont. The normal peaceful meandering rivers became ravaging flood waters within hours. Houses along these rivers quickly flooded and people were evacuated. The waters quickly receded within hours of the flood but left lingering damage.

I had the opportunity to provide reflexology services to 15 flood victims in Moretown, Vermont two weeks after the flood. Moretown is a small town along the Mad River, near Stowe Vermont. Many of the victims had immense flood damage to their homes or their properties and they also had harrowing stories of escaping from the flood waters.

Being a psychiatric nurse, I naturally honed into the mind-body connection, supporting their emotional being via the physical touch of reflexology.

I listened to their stories while working on the adrenal, pituitary, heart, kidney, liver and spinal reflexes of their feet. Since the majority of the clients had shallow breathing as the result of the trauma (several of the clients had to climb out of their kitchen windows in order to avoid drowning)…I worked on their lung and chest reflexes.

The clients relaxed, were calmer and some even began to express emotion. Mental Health Services had provided education and counseling to the town the previous week and all my clients were well-versed in the different stages of grieving.

Words can not fully express the experience of providing reflexology services to clients after a disaster. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. I have never been so grateful for my reflexology training.See more at: www.americanacademyofreflexology.com

3-Day or 30-Day Emergency Preparedness

I went to an Emergency Preparedness workshop in the city where I live (Burbank, California,) where we were told that it is no longer the thinking of local government, police, fire and emergency services for people and their families to be prepared to be self sufficient for three days. They strongly suggested to be prepared for at least a month … a very sobering thought.

Three Day Emergency Disaster Preparedness Is Not Enough

Everyone knows the value of having an emergency kit in cars; some people are well prepared, some are not. Everyone knows the value of having an emergency kit in their home or apartment; some people are well prepared, some are not. But what about for massive emergency disasters?

Most people think,

• “It won’t happen to me.”
• “I’ll be taken care of by municipal services.”
• “It won’t be that long.”
• “I’ll get to it later.”

Since for many people, long term Emergency Preparedness is relatively new thinking, you will likely need to be creative in building your emergency plan, checklist, and materials.

Go back to the eNewsletter, 2. Checklists For Different Types Of Disasters.

Depending on different types of Emergency Disasters that might happen where you live or work – you can use them to help you and your loved ones become prepared.

In addition to what we have provided for you in that list of Emergency Preparedness Checklists, you might want to go to several other sources, such as your local city, your county/parish/provincial, and state government offices and/or websites.

7 PRINCIPLES OF INTEGRATION

After the first four days (28 Hours) of our Beginning Foot Hand Ear Reflexology Class, a large amount of time is spent, hands-on, learning a variety of ways of Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology into the same Reflexology Session, depending on clients needs. We go extensively into the 7 Principles of Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology.

7 Principles of Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology

Principle # 1
Working with any one Reflexology map – Feet, Hands, or Ears - provides good results.

Principle # 2
Working with any two Reflexology maps – Feet, Hands, Ears – during the same session, provides better results.

Principle # 3
Working with all three Reflexology maps – Feet, Hands, and Ears – during the same session,
provides even better results.
 

Principle # 4
Working with all three Reflexology maps – Feet, Hands, Ears – during the same session, applying the Principles of Integration, provides best results.

Principle # 5
Knowing which is 1st, 2nd, & 3rd in effectiveness – Feet, Hands, Ears -especially when there is pain in the related part of the body, and work on all three during each session.

Priority Reflexing – General Patterns

Priority Reflexing – Specific Patterns
 

Principle # 6
Repeat Reflexing during the same session.

Principle # 7
Combine Somatic (Body) Reflexes from all three – Feet, Hands, and Ears - as well as appropriate Master Points & Functional Points on the Ears.

Reflexology For Neck Pain& Range-of-Motion

A Burbank, California housewife we will call Merl, had a neck so stiff she had to turn her whole body to look either side.After three Reflexology Sessions and some Self-Help Reflexology, Merl regained full range-of-motion of her neck for the first time in twelve years.

This case of relief of pain and stiffness from Reflexology is dramatic only regarding the length of time Merl suffered.  It is quite common for people to report relief of neck pain within a few sessions of Reflexology.

The Flocco Method – Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology is based on the   principle that in each of these three places - ears, hands and feet - you have a complete pressure map in a shape of the human body. When you put pressure with your fingers and thumbs on these Reflexology Maps, it is something like going to a wall and turning the light switch.  Although you are touching the light switch on the wall, the effect is seen on the light in the ceiling. So too, by properly refluxing the appropriate parts of the ears, hands and feet for the neck, relief of pain, stress, and range-of-motion issues, is often reported.

Over thirty years of working with feet, hands, and ears has shown that each is better for pain in different parts of the body.

Where to reflex first is called Priority Reflexing. For neck pain, go to the neck reflexes in the ears first, found above the ear lobes at the base of the hard cartilage, called the inner ridge. Hold between the pads of your fingers and thumbs with firm nurturing pressure.

Where to reflex first, second, and third is called Progression Reflexing. After reflexing the neck reflexes on the ears, progress to neck reflexes in the feet, located in the two-thirds of the toes closest to the feet, especially around the big toes.

Third progress to the neck reflexes in the hands, found in the two thirds of thefingers closest to the hands, especially around the thumbs. 

Start with lighter pressure between the softer surface tissues and harder deeper tissues, until the deeper tissue softens and invites you to work deeper.

Remember the importance of drinking extra water to flush out any toxins released while reflexing. For serious health conditions also remember the value of your primary health care provider.

And as you have seen with the Flocco Method – Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexologyrelief can literally be at your fingertips, and, you can use it anytime and anywhere. 

Until we chat again in our next article, like Merl,you too can learn how to give relief of neck pain through Reflexology.
