Oriental foot massage, otherwise known as reflexology is an ancient art of healing which works on the principle that the body’s organs, including the brain, are connected by energy channels to trigger points in our feet. Consequently, when one’s feet are tired, so are our minds and bodies.

Reflexologists believe that if a body part (liver, thyroid, gall bladder, ears and eyes) is not functioning properly, the energy flowing through our channels or meridians, becomes sluggish, ever blocked. This can cause crystals to gather under the skin in specific parts of our feet… Massaging these points breaks down the crystals and restores the flow of body energy.
