Reflexology

Our eyes are truly a precious gift from God. Only those who have been denied the gift of sight or those who have lost it truly understand its importance.

Reflexology has helped many in different stages of blindness. It can do no harm and it is always of some benefit even if it fails to give a person perfect eyesight. Reflex massage always relaxes, no matter what one is using it for, and that in its self is good.

You can also bring more beauty to the eyes by using reflex massage as directed.

Stimulating the Kidneys to Strengthen Your Eyes

Two of the most important organs effecting normal functioning of the eyes are the kidneys.

To stimulate the kidneys, massage the reflexes in the center of the feet and also the hands.

Now turn to the reflexes for the eyes themselves. Massage the reflexes just under the two toes next to the big toes where they fasten to the foot, doing this massage on both feet. Use the same massage on the two fingers next to the thumb. If these are tender, the reflexes are in need of massage to break loose certain blockages affecting the normal function of the eyes.

Massaging Eye Reflexes for Better Eyesight

Now we turn to massage of the reflexes near the eyes for correction of many eye problems. If there is tightness of muscles around the eyes, they may pull on the eyeball, distort this shape, and cut off circulation, causing near and far-sightedness. Tight eyelid muscles sometime cause friction on the eyeball that can lead to the formation of Cataracts. If the eye muscles in the back of the eye are tight, the drainage ducts will be squeezed shut and won’t empty properly. This can cause a buildup of fluid resulting in Glaucoma.

To loosen the eye muscles, take you middle fingers and massage along the reflexes underneath both eyes. Press in as you go across and feel for tight muscles. When you find that a muscle is tight, you will also probably find a hard spot or feel the muscles snap under your fingers. When you stimulate the reflexes to the eyes you immediately give renewed energy and life to your eyes.

Don’t do this very often at first. When you over stimulate the eyes, it can give you a terrible headache. Do this only once the first day: then increase as you feel that you can, without any over stimulation. This holds true for the other eye reflex massages and also for the eye exercises I will give you later.

Move to the bones on top of the eyes and repeat the procedure. It may be easier to use the thumbs for this position. Work across the muscles and not with them when you do this massage.

Take your middle finger or thumb and work across the muscles on top of the nose starting deep in the eye socket. You will probable find this very tender, but remember our moto,

“If it hurts, rub it out”

Do this to both eyes: then go across the muscles on the forehead just above the eyebrows. If you feel a hard core or a tight band, you will know that you have found a tight muscle that may restrict the natural flow of electric energy by way of the reflexes. It will probable be quite tender because the circulation of the vital lifeline is being blocked by these hard or tender areas.

Massaging these reflexes around the eyes can also help correct protruding eyes, eyes that hurt or are sensitive to light, and slanted eyes caused by muscle tension.

Please give this a try and you will be amazed about how much better you feel.

Anxiety is a much bigger problem than many people believe. It affects people of all ages, although it usually starts in teenage years or the mid twenties, and it seems to affect twice as many women as men.

Anxiety problems can be acute or chronic. Acute anxiety usually is shown by episodes known as panic attacks. A panic attack is essentially when our body’s natural “fight or flight” reaction occurs at the wrong time and for inappropriate reasons. It is completely involuntary.

Chronic anxiety is usually milder and more generalized. Patients feel anxiety most of the time, however it rarely reaches the intensity of a full-blown panic attack.

The advice from a less than sympathetic health professional, could be “Pull yourself together” – at worst, or (little better) sufferers may come away with prescription drugs. Some of these are addictive and/or with unpleasant side-effects.

There are many things you can do to help control your anxiety disorder without the use of prescription drugs. A key consideration is to do whatever it takes to relieve day-to-day stress. Many patients that suffer from panic attacks have taken trips to the emergency room, just to be told they are suffering from stress.

I recommend reflexology treatments for the best effect. This can be either self-help or from a professional reflexologist. If you choose a professional reflexologist, do check that he/she is registered with reputable body. Furthermore, never change your prescription medicine without the consent of your conventional health provider.

Reflexology, a technique used in Thai massage therapy and ancient Chinese medicine, is based on the belief that applying pressure to reflexes on the feet and hands can effectively treat the entire body. By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, reflexology stimulates blood flow and eliminates toxin buildup in the corresponding organs and systems of the body.

An extremely common application for reflexology is for stress management. In our fast paced society today, everyone is looking for a way to unload the stress of their everyday life. There are very good reasons to do so, as stress is a silent killer. The effects of stress have been studied for quite some time and it is known that if you do not regularly release your stress, it will eventually wreak havoc on your body in the form of one of many different sicknesses or diseases.

Besides being a beneficial tool for promoting relaxation and stress relief, reflexology is also an effective tool for improving circulation, relieving pain, and as an immune and nervous system stimulator. Many who suffer from illnesses such as allergies; chronic sinus problems; acid reflux; migraines; PMS; menopause; insomnia; chronic fatigue, fertility problems and even arthritis have been helped enormously by reflexology treatments.
