FAQs

What is Reflexology??

Reflexology is a natural healing art, based on the principle that there are reflex points in our feet that correspond to every part, gland or organ of the human body. Thanks to the stimulation of the nerve endings of the feet by pressure and by touch, reflexology releases the tensions of the body, supports the nervous system, improves the circulation of the blood and the nerve impulses in all the body, stimulates the lymphatic system which him stimulates the immune system. Reflexology improves the elimination of liquids and other accumulated organic matter. It also increases the supply of oxygen produced by the lungs to the tissues, this promotes the natural functioning of the body.

It is therefore a holistic non-invasive therapy where the client and the therapist come together to achieve the desired well-being and balance throughout the body. (Homeostasis). Depending on the case, the sessions may be shorter, with less pressure but more frequent. When the feet are too sore, a scan is performed of the energy field, the etheric body, which surrounds the foot. This sweep helps blood flow and disperses excess fluid thereby reducing inflammation and oedema.

It is important to drink water?

Water is essential for the functioning of the body. It is necessary for the adequate renewal of cells and the lubrication of the entire system. It is generally understood that the body's water needs are underestimated. Thirst is the last signal the body sends us to make us drink. People experience more subtle signs of dehydration related to water intake such as dizziness, headache, lethargy, decreased concentration, excessive hunger, constipation, fatigue, and moodiness.

After the reflexology session, the body will be encouraged to get rid of the excess toxins accumulated in the system. Toxins that your body has probably not been able to eliminate until now. The elimination of these materials will take place through the excretory tract of the body, namely the kidneys / bladder, the large intestine, the exhalation and the sweat glands. In order for all systems to function normally and to promote the environment of bodily fluids, it is recommended to drink water after the treatment. You will feel much better if you drink a few extra glasses of water. Darker-than-usual urine after a session is usually a good indication that you need to drink a little more water while your body is flushing out toxins.
