Hello, my name is Rebecca Herrick, I'm here at Everything Peaceful in Wilmington, North Carolina to discuss how Reflexology works. There's many different aspects of how Reflexology works, it works through restoring balance in the body's longitudinal zones which are located longitudinally with the ending points on the hands, on the feet and also on the head. So Reflexology works by manipulating those end points on the ears, the hands and the feet to address all the areas in between. It, sends Reflexology, reflexes through those zones in order to address all the different zones of the body. It also works to send nerve impulses from the end points on the hands and the feet and the ears throughout the body; also to address all the different internal organs. The hands and the feet and the ears are mock out into basically, the same layout of the body. The base of the hand is the base of the body and the tips of the fingers or the tips of the toes would be the top of the body. And so, everywhere, in between every place on the hands and the feet have pertaining body part that they address. So it works to really bring and relaxation and balance to the whole body, helping the body to heal itself. And that's how Reflexology works.
