How does the reflexology treatment starts As with any session associated with reflexology, it will always start with the fingers and the toes. And the practitioner works on the heel then the sides and top will be covered as well. The idea in addressing all points is that the intent of the practitioner is to cover all the internal organs. 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. It is here when the practitioner will explain that reflexology is just a complementary therapy and that this will not solve all medical and health woes. This is the point where the person or patient can ask questions as well. How do you know if the therapy session is already starting? You will know it if the practitioner starts working on the feet, the hands and sometimes on the ears. From a quarter of the feet's structure, you can actually help yourself be relieved from additional pain and stress on your upper body parts by applying pressure. Studies have shown that reflexology has no medically proven curative properties, but then, reflexology is not about curing but about providing ease from tension and stress by allowing the blood to circulate properly. The oils used in most reflexology sessions are olive oil, sesame oil, aroma therapy oils and menthol camphor oils. A reflexology session can last up to an hour though an average length would be thirty minutes. The patient keeps in a reclining position and the reflexologist may use a table or a chair depending on the height desired. This is often referred to as an alternative medicine, selected by many who want an option other than traditional medicine. Just what makes this form of therapy clicks? In the simplest sense, this is the application of pressure, stretching and the movement of the person's feet and hands which in turn will trigger and connect to the many glands and parts of the body.
