Reflexology Map Reflects The Small Scale Human Anatomy Looking at a reflexology map, one would be amazed to discover how approximate our hands and feet are to our entire body. It can be considered as a scaled down model of our entire body with the areas even reflecting the actual positioning and accurate scale size of each body part or organ. And at this stage, the therapist will consider if indeed reflexology is the answer for the person. 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 is possible that the principle of applying pressure of the body's extremities and nerve endings to induce relaxation is a shared discovery by these ancient cultures. In India their version of reflexology is called the Ayurvedic Reflexology. Although those in practice do not refer to it as another type of reflexology but an entirely different method borne out of a fusion of two principles, reflexology and Ayurveda, the traditional Indian health system. This was first known as the 'Zone Therapy' and it was the American surgeon named William Fitzgerald who first studied these. In the studies that was conducted by Dr. Fitzgerald, he noted that there are zones that can be found on the hands, the feet and the tongue of the person and that all these zones are linked or connected to the many parts of the body. In the practice of reflexology and medicine, homeostasis is that automatic process in which the body of the person reverts back to that normal stage. So where exactly is the pressure applied in the body of the person? In reflexology, the focus is on the feet and the hands. Pressure is applied to these two body parts in order to bring relaxation and health to the person.
