Hand Reflexology

Book excerpt: Our fast-paced world is forcing us to become more and more aware of the dangers posed by stress to our mental and physical well-being. In the search for natural and healthy stress relieving techniques, people are increasingly turning to the skills and wisdom of ancient Eastern cultures, such as is the case with hand reflexology. Hand reflexology is a technique which employs self-massage of certain focal points in the hands that can directly and immediately boost your health and revitalize your energy and bloodflow. In this book, I'm going to help you thoroughly understand hand reflexology and exactly how it works. You'll learn all about the benefits, apart from just tension relief, including improved blood circulation, cell growth, relaxation of muscles, reduced pain, a better functioning digestion and immune system, and overall detoxification of the body. I'll also show you how to perform this massage technique on yourself or others, including a diagram of pressure points and the corresponding organs, and I'll point out the safety measures that must be practiced along the way. I hope that you decide to take full advantage of this quick, easy, and inexpensive - yet powerful - method of staying healthy and eliminating stress.
