HOW FOOT REFLEXOLOGY (ACUPRESSURE) CAN HEAL YOU - Dr Alan Mandell, DC

welcome everyone dr. Mandel here I want to share a natural alternative therapy to help your health this therapy has been around for thousands of years it is foot reflexology now many people think that reflexology is just another word for foot massage but that is not correct beyond the feel-good effects of the treatment the practice and purpose goes deeper than the skin and the muscles by taking specific reflex points on the foot to induce a healing response in corresponding organs and areas within the body so I want to show you a few charts if you look at this chart this will show you the left and right foot and all the different areas that correlate to those points throughout the body we are balancing energy or what we call Chi sending energy throughout those meridians to help heal the body stimulating these points also helps the central nervous system promoting more relaxation in homeostasis within the body medical evidence proves that through reflexology will reduce stress and anxiety reduce pain lift your mood and improve general well-being many people have also reported that reflexology has helped them boost their immune system clear up sinuses remove neck and back problems correct hormonal imbalances improve digestion and help ease author-it ik pain now this similar picture is broken down a little differently as you can see all the different areas that correlate to these specific points within the feet you'll notice that on top of the foot near the toes that will correlate to the top of our head then as you go downwards you can see how other organs within our body are directly tied into these areas so there is a theory that walk barefoot can be very effective for our health if you look here these are natural cobblestones with a similar shape to our feet when acupressure is applied to those points within the foot that can help stimulate those energy points to help repair and heal the body now a great thing that you can do at home would be to take a golf ball and just roll underneath your entire foot for a couple of minutes and you will feel that sensation that tingling that increased blood supply to the area that can be very effective for your health now what's really interesting there are many people out there who have foot pathologies possibly neuromas calluses imbalances problems with the ligaments the fashio like plantar fasciitis and many of these people notice that they start experiencing other symptoms throughout the body like nervousness anxiety tingling whatever it is and that's because the foot biomechanics is altered by getting this negative feedback loop going back into the body causing those symptoms all of us have our problems wouldn't it be nice if you can utilize a non-invasive approach to help your condition get well naturally please share this with your friends and family leave your comments below and most important make it a great day I'm dr.
