Facts About Reflexology
Copyright Dwight C. Byers
What is Reflexology?
REFLEXOLOGY is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. REFLEXOLOGY is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.
Is Reflexology New?
The idea behind Reflexology is not new - in fact, it was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer in this field. Her book on the subject was published in 1938. And since 1942, Reflexology seminars have been conducted year round.
What is the Ingham Reflexology Method?
It is the combined work of the late Eunice Ingham and her nephew Dwight C. Byers, the world's leading authority on Foot Reflexology. Mr. Byers, President of the International Institute of REFLEXOLOGY, and/or his hand picked instructors conduct on-going seminars on a worldwide scale to both laymen and professionals.
What does Reflexology do?
The Ingham Reflexology Method is used primarily for relaxing tension. Doctors agree that over 75% of our health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension. REFLEXOLOGY improves nerve and blood supply, and helps nature to normalize.
What special equipment is needed?
Only the hands are used, making it a safe, simple, yet effective method without the use of gadgets. Let your fingers do the walking.
Can Reflexology make a condition worse?
No, it will not make any condition more acute. Foot Reflexology helps nature to normalize body functions. A Foot Reflexology session relaxes the stress that can affect your health. It is a safe effective way to Better Health.
Balut Health Enterprises wishes to make it perfectly clear that it does not purport to teach medical practice in any form; nor is the Ingham Reflexology method intended to replace conventional medical treatment.
Reflexology is a unique modality in the health field. Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being. Its practice should not be compared to massage or any other kind of manipulative procedure.
