This is critical because there are a number of pseudo-therapists out there that says they are competent, but if you check their credentials then you will learn that they only attended a crash course in reflexology. In order to get the best person to do the job for you, strongly consider some of the recommendations as listed below. Historical word-of-mouth accounts alleged that Emperor Augustus (back when he was still known as Octavian) once remarked that Roman politician Mark Antony massaged Cleopatra VII's feet "at dinner parties." There is also evidence that some basic, derivative form of physical therapy involving foot massage was a common practice by the Chinese since 2330 BCE. The internal organs are represented by the arch of the foot and the sole represents the lower back or spine and the intestines. It is believed that the area corresponding to the body part is directly connected by the veins that run through the body. Therefore, the application of pressure will enable better blood circulation and relaxation. The term roughly means the knowledge of life. Its basic concept states that health is holistic; it must be a fusion of a health mind, body and spirit. A healthy body cannot be achieved unless one is of a happy mind. A happy mind is also achieved through spirituality. Ayurveda also encourages the use of herbal medicines as a result of our harmonious coexistence with nature. For example, the heart and the rest of the organs have representations on the foot of the person. And it is also believed that the energy flow in the body that goes into every cell does follow a path and this connects a number of organs and glands and there are pressure points present on the feet and the hands. One of these is the urinary bladder, the pressure point is located on the arc just before it ends to the ball of the feet. The urinary bladder is responsible for releasing the filtered urine from the kidney. There are plenty of disorders associated with the bladder, yet the most usual symptoms are urine retention, urine incontinence and hematuria or blood in the urine.
