And if the therapist learns that this is the first time that the person is taking the session, and then the practitioner may explain the nature of the therapy and the benefits. 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. It could be borne out of a heart disease or illness or of complications from other diseases which disrupts the body's pumping organ. Heart or chest pain can be felt in various forms. Palpitations or a string of continuous loud thudding are irregular forceful beatings of the heart. This is often felt by people with coronary artery disease. When there is an oversupply of fat in the digestive tract, the liver and gall bladder are overworked yet the bile is unable to help digest the food. The bile hardens and turns into the most common gall bladder problem known as gall stones. This problem is often asymptomatic but if feel pain between your shoulder blades, nausea, vomiting, bloating, indigestion and gas, it may help to relieve the pain by applying pressure on the gall bladder point. If a full body massage can be undertaken, then vital energy parts can be massaged such as the head, temples, face and ears to maintain good health. In reflexology, hand and foot massages are important, though in Ayurvedic, hand massages are for morning rituals and foot massages are for bedtime rituals to prepare the mind for a calm sleep. For a regular relaxing reflexology, the therapist would massage the entire hand or foot methodically ensuring that all pressure points have been given proper attention. If the patient seeks reflexology to relieve pain on a certain body part, she should inform the reflexologist beforehand so the methods of clinical therapy can be applied. The moment some of these reflexes are addressed and manipulated, then stress is removed and in the process the parasympathetic response in the person's body is activated that in turn releases in the imbalances in the person's body. And the moment the stress is removed and that the circulation of the energy has been restored to its normal level, then the person who is subjected to reflexology returns to that stage called homeostasis.
