This guide builds the principles of reflexology into practice, and allows the complete beginner to perform reflexology immediately for self-care or care of a partner. The book presents: a boost to health using massage on the feet and hands, developed from ancient Chinese and Egyptian healing systems; step-by-step guidance to performing reflexology at home; easy-to-follow instructions for an immediate start; two complete reflexology sessions for hands and feet; relief of inflammation, congestion and tension-related ailments, such as asthma, arthritis, insomnia, angina and migraine; additional treatments for specific ailments, plus a quick reference chart; and detailed maps of the hands and feet illustrating the reflex points. Chapter one describes how reflexology helps relieve stress and promotes wellbeing. Chapter two illustrates the connections between the feet, hands and the rest of the body. Chapter three describes the diagnostic guidelines and pressure techniques, and chapter four looks at the body systems.
