From the perspective of reflexology, this is how it all works. And this puts much emphasis on the feet. So if you are intent on trying reflexology to your friend and help alleviate his pain, then here's a simple way on how to perform the therapy on the foot. As they say, in all activities it's best to start at the 'right foot'. The list will go on and on. The common denominator here is that reflexologies do some work to some people, and this is then reason why many are looking forward to having their first reflexology session. And for sure there will come a point wherein you may want to consider a session or two. But here's the thing; reflexology is not recommended at all times. Historical word-of-mouth accounts alleged that Emperor Augustus (back when he was still known as Octavian) once remarked that Roman politician Mark Antony massaged Cleopatra VII's feet "at dinner parties." There is also evidence that some basic, derivative form of physical therapy involving foot massage was a common practice by the Chinese since 2330 BCE.

For cases such as diabetes and hypertension, the kidneys are impaired as a result of these illnesses. If you notice changes in your urination, swelling, fatigue, rashes, metallic taste in your mouth or breath, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, chills, dizziness, and body pain, then you may be having problems with your kidney. Consistently applying pressure will slowly remove the blockages and allow the nerves to breathe. When the internal organs are at their best performance, the entire body is also on its optimum level. However effective reflexology is in relieving pain, stress and other bad health symptoms, it is still not considered as a replacement for scientific or mainstream medicine. The stem of the toes represent the brain, neck and the brain stem. This is the best area to press when you feel strain on your neck due to a prolonged sitting position especially in front of a computer or on an uneven backrest. The center of the back of the big toe represents the pituitary gland. It can help relieve pituitary disorders and hasten therapy, although your doctor should have specifically diagnosed you with that specific problem.
