More about reflexology

Reflexology treatments are usually very pleasant and relaxing. During a treatment there are no gadgets or utensils used, it is done only by hand.
A regular treatment takes approximately 30-40 minutes. The frequency of treatments and the length of a series depends on the condition of the person being treated. After a treatment it is common for the client to feel energized or sleepy, hot or shivery, and experience certain reactions as the body begins its healing process and elimination of toxins: runny nose, frequent visits to the bathroom, perspiration, slight and temporary rash on the skin, deep sleep or difficulty sleeping.
A series of regular professional treatments can balance and normalize body functions, and may be a great help and solution for pains, migraines, back problems, sinusitis, digestive problems, hormonal imbalance, circulatory problems, tension and stress. Reflexology never makes a condition worse, however, in some special cases it is not advisable to treat certain areas (a well trained reflexologist will recognize these situations).
Reflexology can also be successfully combined with other alternative healing techniques, such as Chinese medicine or massage therapy. Even non-professionally, it's a great tool for relaxation for family and friends.
Reflexology, however, is not an ultimate and omnipotent medicine, and in some cases other healing methods, either holistic or conventional, are necessary.
