A Traditional Practice That Is Still In Use Today
Alternative therapies for healing like reflexology employs hands-on techniques for boosting health and vitality. Patients can boost their health by gentle stimulation of the skin by applying pressure or pressure to the area. It has been practiced from the beginning of the 19th century when it was first referred to as Chinese Herbal Medicine. The current practitioners are members or certified by the American Reflexology Certification Board. Reflexology practitioners must have the required professional education or experience before being allowed to be licensed in every state.
Contrary to many other modalities that are that are used to diagnose health issues, reflexology uses no rolling sets, roll, or rolls but relies on the premise that there exist zones within the body which respond most well to the pressure. By following the natural path of these areas will ease discomfort and avoid diseases. The practice of reflexology is an easy method of diagnosis that identifies the regions that exhibit signs. It requires an extensive examination to determine the true cause. The condition may be classified in five distinct zones which correspond to the anatomical structure of the body.
Western doctors and scientists have identified four key reflexological areas. However, there could be additional locations as well. The four major zones are the head, cheek, the hand and cheek zones. The head zone, which is also called the brainstem is a reference to the ear's outer and the brow zone also known as the forehead; the cheek zone, which refers to the face and the area surrounding the mouth; and the hand zone that is at the heart of the upper arm. In ancient egypt, the zones were classified on the basis of whether the body part was attached to the earth, or if it was higher than the other. If a person's hands were tied to the ground or if it was above the ground, then they would be classified as an 'anthropoderm'. The hands that are above the level of the earth were thought to be the humusthropoid. The system of classification can be confusing for modern medical professionals and patients alike in particular when terms, such as humusthropoid or anthropoderm, are frequently used interchangeably.
The first recorded reference to this therapy is from Hippocrates who was the ancestor of modern medicine. Hippocrates believed that the treatment utilized for treating Hippocrates as Reflexology. Hippocrates loved natural therapies during his times. He based his belief on the notion that different parts of the body react to pressure points that are explained in depth in the Theory of Relation. He also emphasized the fact that many ailments are caused by nerves in the central nervous system.

Some believe that it was brought to the Greeks through the priests who were curing people with Acupressure. Others believe that it was brought to the world by Egyptians of Egypt who utilized it for healing various common illnesses. Some practitioners today believe it was American herbal medicine which led to the popularity of it.
Reflexology was known in ancient Egypt as'maharti', or'massage therapy'. It was originally practiced by Roman soldiers who believed that it would ensure their health during combat. A different theory suggests that it was derived from the Phoenicians who used the paste to relieve muscle tension. Today, however, the majority of experts are of the opinion that it was invented way back in the 3rd millennium B.C.
Though there is no solid science-based proof to back the idea of reflexology the fact that more than one hundred percent of people in the world use some type of alternative medicine and considers it to be part of their treatment regimens leaves no doubt that the practice has been growing in importance. As more research is done into the physiological mechanisms of the human body, and how various organs function together, we will be able to see the true benefits of reflexology.
