From the Publisher

ABOUT THE BOOK: This practical illustrated guide to hand reflexology introduces a new and simple way of learning the art of reflexology for beginners and home reflexologists.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

After exploring how hand reflexology works and its many benefits, you will be introduced to the hand reflexology map as a micro-map of the human body.

TECHNIQUES

Learn the principles of using a variety of thumb and finger techniques to reflex points on the hand, and ways to relax the hands.

FULL REFLEXOLOGY ROUTINE

This chapter looks at the six regions of the hands and their correlation with parts of the body. There is a step-by-step reflexing routine for each region, which can be combined into a single full reflexology routine.

SPECIFIC AILMENTS

This main section highlights areas of concern in the body, in the order of the regions discussed in Chapter 3, and ways to relieve them using hand reflexology techniques.

Head and neck routine: Complete all steps on your left hand, then repeat on the right hand.

With palm up, place the fingers of the working hand underneath the fingers of the hand being reflexed. Begin a thumb roll at the top of the index finger, working toward the palm until you reach the base of the finger. Repeat on both sides of the index finger. Repeat to complete three passes each on the middle, ring, and little fingers.

Turn the hand over. Place the thumb of the working hand under the index finger being reflexed. Use a two-finger roll to reflex from the nail bed to the base of the finger. Repeat to reflex the middle, ring, and little fingers.

Place the thumb to be reflexed—palm side up—on four fingers of the working hand for support. Begin a thumb roll from the top of the thumb horizontally across the surface. Lift off and repeat the action at intervals working toward the palm, until you reach the knuckle where the thumb joins the palm.

To reflex the nail side of the thumb, place the thumb pad on four fingers of the working hand. Use a thumb roll across the surface, starting below the nail. Lift off and repeat the action at intervals working toward the palm, until you reach the knuckle where the thumb joins the palm.
