How to Find Proper Pressure Points Through Reflexology
Reflexology has been practiced for many years in India, China, and Japan. In recent years it has become more popular in America. The idea behind reflexology is relieving tension and illness by applying pressure to the feet and hands in specific locations. A reflexologist can show you the proper pressure points for your ailment.
- Check out online interactive
charts on both feet and hand reflexology charts to find where the
pressures points are and what they treat.
For instance, the tips of all the toes help to treat the head as
well as the brain. The lower toes just above where they attach to
the foot are the proper pressure points for the neck and brain. - The tips of the fingers also help
with the head as well as sinuses. Therefore, someone with a headache
could benefit from reflexology by apply pressure to the tips of the
finger and especially the thumbs. The lower part of the fingers on
both the front and the back help with the neck. Therefore, if you suffer from tension in the neck it could be helped by applying
pressure to the lower fingers including the thumb. - Some areas in reflexology overlap.
For instance, on the fingers just below the second joint, a thin
band on the finger is the pressure point responsible for the teeth,
gums, and jaw. Every part of your body correlates to a pressure
point on the hands or feet. Of course, trying this on your own with
no training will probably not cause much relief. Going to a
certified reflexologist could help you if you suffer from recurring
headaches, backaches, and suffer from frequent sinus problems.
