In modern medicine and science, despite all the advances of the last century and a half, indiscriminately there are alternatives available surrogate to traditional treatments. Despite common regimens accepted medically, scientifically and socially as a result of technological advancements, no matter the ailment, a person retains choice. Reflexology is one such alternative to modern methods. The Reflexology Association of Canada defines it as "A natural healing art, based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body." In essence, you may counteract health problems in a certain region of your body through treatment on the portion of your feet that correlate to that region the malady inhabits. Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. Although accepted as generally as chiropractics as not "true" medicine, reflexology predates most common medicines in any field. The beginnings of reflexology can be dated to ancient Egypt, China and India, with more recent advances taking place in the 20th century. Reflexology has been shown to be effective for back pain, infertility, migraine, arthritis, hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, stress-related conditions and even sports injuries. Depending on the infirmity, oils, lotions and certain soaps can be used to appreciate the value of the treatment. Besides its physical benefits, reflexology retains additional benefits to the patron of regular treatments. In Britain, a study had fifteen women receive half-hour reflexology sessions for eight weeks. The findings included noticeable physical and emotional improvements, increased self-esteem and confidence, an ability to stay motivated and be heard and taken seriously, and an improvement in concentration. Results, improvements and consequences of treatment are expansive. Luckily growing up, my finger never got stuck, I never went blind from sitting too close to the television, my chronic arthritis from cracking my knuckles has yet to appear and I'm pretty sure that despite what my parents told me, that pack of gum from 1999 has probably digested by now. Even if these events in my life affected me long-term in some tragic way. I know I would have options. Some doctor in some laboratory is working on the cure at this very instant. And even if my knuckle-cracking, television-watching or gum-swallowing does turn out to be incurable and fatal, I can always seek a second opinion.
