Reflexology : Introduction to Reflexology massage

Reflexology is a type or method of massage. The term reflexology comes from a belief. It says there are some points on the feet, hands and ears. Through these points, we can connect to the whole body and its each area. Therefore, these points can reflect entire body. Reflexology can bring relaxation to the full body by those points. It can perform as part of massage. Eg: During Ayurvedic massage or Shirodhara, you may request it. If so, it could be part of the whole service. Sometimes, people would like to get reflexology only.

Reflexology: Reflecting body by body parts

During the reflexology, therapist will activate points in the feet, hands and ears.  It has a series of techniques. Basically, therapist soaks, smoothens with an exfoliation cream, and then massages the certain areas. Next, they mask to facilitate detoxification, and then finish with power or lotion. Mostly, they put mush work on foot. Sometimes, foot would soak with sea salt/Epsom salt/eucalyptus oil, exfoliate with peppermint and apply rosemary loofah/kelp mask. Alternatively, warm Moor mud, lavender, basil, mandarin, rose oils and other stuff are used for masking an soaking foot.

The same method applies for hands too. Also, slightly different method applies on ears. This method could allow the body to deeply relaxation. We could conclude that the whole body relaxation could come from certain parts of body that reflect on body.
