Reflexology- Auravedic Foot Massage

There are several theories as to how reflexology works to reduce pain and how it can target different areas of the body, including specific organs. They all confirm that reducing stress has a large cognitive effect on the brain and simultaneously releases tension.  

It's said Reflexology originated in ancient Egyptian times but was adopted in Asia and  India finally making it to the west. Long ago, it was tradition when a visitor arrived in an Indian home, it was customary to draw a foot bath and massage their feet using Reflexology techniques. Stimulating the different points on the feet not only relax organs but move blood and Qi (the body's life force energy explained in more detail under the 'Breath and Movement' page on this website). Much of the tension and pain found in the body is due to stagnation (sluggish movement) of blood and Qi. When there is lack of flow, it can create excess or deficiencies in the bodies organs. Reflexology points on the hands and feet correspond in a mirror effect to different organs and body parts. It works as a complimentary whole body medicine treating not only the symptoms but the root cause by stimulating the correct areas.

Auriculo Acupuncture (Ear acupuncture)

Using this same microsystem described in Auriculotherapy, ear acupuncture is extremely specific as the tiny fine tipped needles have the accuracy to stimulate a point that may be extremely tiny. All the same, do not be fooled by the size, as these points can be the strongest analgesics (pain killer acupuncture points) of the entire body. They are commonly used to treat injuries, pain, addictions, PTSD (specifically with Vet's suffering from trauma), anxiety, depression, smoking cessions, headaches and can treat any condition or organ of the body. One of my favorite areas with such a strong influence!
