Acupressure -, reflexologic foot massage
Refreshing sole massage (60
mins.)
Reflexology, and within it acupressure looks back on a past of thousands of years. It originates from China and India, and similarly to the needle prick it is based on stimulation or inducement (stimulus therapy).
Indian tribes make use of healing therapies since ancient time with which they treat the diseased organ not directly, but achieve cure by massaging the feet => they know the theory of reflexology without naming it.
In the protection of our health the regular massage of the reflex zones is important,as none of our body parts is as neglected and deformed as our feet are. Foot massage as a healing accompanying therapy is already accepted in medicine. By massaging the feet we increase the energy level of our organs. Feet massage has no side effects whatsoever, it only has positive biological effects.
- Feet massage is suitable for prevention and regeneration. Its primary aim is the restoration of energetic balance, which is the condition of healthy life function.
- It regulates the working of hormone producing glands. It does so much more effectively than medicines which contain hormones.
- It is an excellent diagnostic tool. From the state of the feet it can be seen what existing or developing problem there is. The presence of sensitivity, pain, or deposit indicates if there is a disturbance of function or illness in the organ corresponding to the zone.
- It increases fittness, the ability to endure stress, and harmony both on a physical and mental level.
The reflex zones work like microsystems.They present the large system in a small manner. The different approach of such kind of foot massage from other types of foot massages makes it possible to stop the development of harmful changes in the energetic system of the body when these are still in the pre-clinical stages, at the same time the massage also strengthens the regenerating, processing and secretional functions.
As a consequence of wrong nutrition and lifestyle pathological metabolism products accumulate in the body and if these cannot pass through it in a natural manner, this damages the organs,deposits form in the reflex zones, energy blocks form, this leads to the the worsening of the metabolism of the cells and the functions of the organ system.
The energy circulates in the soft tissue beneath the skin, so the paths are well "purifiable" and manageable, their permeability can be restored if required.
We call the special massage promoting the flow of Chi (life-energy) acupressure massage. The acupressure points going along the meridians become painful in the case of disease in the internal organs, these pains cessate due to the treatment both in the point and in the organ itself.
In case of a problem the flow rate decreases in the lymph vein system of the reflex zone, the lymph accummulates, this lifts the muscle tissue and deposits, "knobs" form. As these become sensitive to pressure they give information in the form of pain towards the brain and the solar plexus (the energy center around the left side of the liver).
During the foot massage the stimulus first goes to the brain, the centre for controlling the energy, and reacts back on the organs by starting up the self-healing mechanisms of the body. The treatment of the meridians does not only stop the pain, it also increases vitality and stamina against strains.
There are reflex zones all over the body at sessions I work primarily on the reflex zones of the feet and feet soles. During the course of the massage the initially stroking and relaxing movements are taken over by the stimulation of the acupresssure points. With the massage of the right zones the congestion, metabolism, lymph circulation of the corresponding organs improves, with this the body mobilizes its self-healing powers. For this reason I treat and cleanse the zones of the secretion system first. After this I include the massaging of the other, problematic zones in the programme.
This is a massage which IS NOT RESTRICTED TO AGE, everyone can be massaged according to the right programme. Refreshing foot massage can be carried out on a healthy person, the cure promoting reflex zone massage is meant for the ill person, in such time which the state of the person requires. The duration of one treatment is generally 40 minutes, but in acute cases this time can be increased without any danger to twice or thrice as much.
A massage can be given once a day, but if the reaction of the body already started time must be allowed to let the self-healing mechanisms unfold. Generally 1-3 appointments per week ensure ideal progress.
As supplement to the treatment I use the herbal teas prepared by myself with good results, as well as REIKI energy which speed up the healing process.
