| The
brain and heart are not the only important parts of the body - although
you might find it impossible to function without them - but it is in fact
the feet that reign supreme.
Despite being aware of this many people pay
little or no attention to their feet. Sure, they wash them and clip toe
nails when requires, but there is so much more to the humble foot that we
should all be educated at a young age as to the benefits of good foot
health.
There is a saying that you should always buy a
good bed and comfortable shoes because if you are not in one you are in
the other.
There is more truth in that one saying than any
other as it is based on truth; if you are not in bed you are up and
wearing footwear.
Why then, do we buy ill-fitting shoes only to
complain when our feet ache and have blisters on them? It is no
coincidence that when our feet hurt we feel low and irritable.
Think about it, if the eyes are the window to the
soul then surely the sole of the foot is the gateway to good health and should
be treated with respect.
The sole of the foot contains more nerve endings than any other part of
the body and each nerve is connected to a part of the body and mind.
By manipulating certain points on the foot
corresponding parts of the body can feel rejuvenated and/or the mind
refreshed.
For instance, if you press on a certain point just under the
big toe you can improve the health of patients suffering from illnesses
involving the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
Trained practitioners can also relieve energy
blockages, help to remove acids and toxins in the body and help with sleep
problems, to mention but a few.
By glancing at a Reflexology
Chart you can
begin to appreciate how the sole of the foot can literally help you to get
back on your feet following illness or accident.
The art of reflexology goes back many
centuries and has been noted to have origins in ancient Egypt as wall
paintings in a physician's tomb at Saqqara, which dates back to 2330 B.C.,
show his patients receiving reflexology treatments on their feet.
There is also evidence to show that reflexology
was known to the Japanese as early as 690 A.D as the upturned foot of
Buddha in the Physicians Temple in Nara, Japan, shows markings on the sole
of his foot.
However, reflexology as we recognize it today
only dates back around 125 years to Germany and Russia, following the
findings of Nobel Prize winner Ivan Pavlov.
Since those early days reflexology has made huge advances and has not only
become widely accepted by traditional medical practitioners as beneficial,
but is more accessible meaning patients can experience the health benefits
without having to visit clinics or suffer the embarrassment of showing
their feet to strangers.
One such advance is that of the creation of sap
sheets, or Detox
Foot Pads (Patches). They
work on the theory and same research as traditional reflexology, but the
patient does not need medical training or prior knowledge.
The Detox Foot Pads work by heating the sole of the foot during sleep and thus
promoting a natural reaction; that of sweating or perspiring. This in turn
expels the heavy metal sand toxins that build up in the body and in turn
can cause severe distress and discomfort to people suffering from medical
conditions or fatigue.
Research has shown that
Kenrico's Detox Pads are as effective
as direct treatment by a reflexologist but without the need for costly
clinic visits.
The Detox Foot pads can also be used long term to maintain optimum
health where as clinical visits are normally not ongoing.
There are a side
range of Detox Foot Pads to choose from and by utilizing the combination of high
quality ingredients that best suit your needs the results can be amazing.
