Reflexology Bits and Pieces

 I have worked for many years following the teachings of Eunice Ingham.  And my mother.   

Reflexology is based on the theory that there are points (also called reflexes) in the feet that reflect all parts of the body. 

There are 5 vertical zones in each foot = 10 zones in the two feet. There are 4 horizontal zones.  If you know your anatomy then you can discern where all related points are located. Body to foot. 

The hands also have points in them. I do not use these so much as the hands are not as sensitive as the feet. Don’t believe it?  Run your bathtub full of hot water for your hot soaking bath. Swish your hand in there to check temperature. Hey, that feels good. Put you toes in…. I promise they will the judge of temp. Feet are much more tender.
