This holistic therapy treats the whole person, particularly weak or ill areas, by using the feet as 'maps' of the body. On the feet there are points or zones which correspond to organs and systems of the body. By pressing on one of these points, the corresponding organ in the body is affected. For example, pressing on the tip of the big toe will cause a response in the brain and, vice versa, if there is a problem with brain the reflexologist will recognize the symptoms 4
of this in the big toe. This relationship, between a point on the foot and another part of the body is known as a reflex. A trained reflexologist uses finger or thumb pressure on each of the zones to find problem areas. He or she then applies more pressure which helps the corresponding part of the body to heal. Some professionals use reflexology techniques during massage treatments. Case studies: 10 x Clients to be treated 4 times What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in holistic treatments to improve physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils, extracted from plants, posses distinctive therapeutic properties which can be used to improve health and prevent disease. Both their physiological and psychological effect combines to promote positive health. These natural plant oils are applied in a variety of ways including massage, baths and inhalations. They are readily absorbed into the skin and have gentle physiological effects. Aromatherapy is an especially effective treatment for stress-related problems and a variety of chronic conditions. The name dates from the 1920s but different cultures and civilizations, such as the Ancient Egyptians and the Roman Empire, have used plants and herbs for religious, medical and cosmetic purposes, as well as in rituals, embalming and preserving, for centuries. Information taken from the book by Louise Tucker "An Introductory Guide to Aromatherapy" which is used as part of the curriculum. Case studies: 10 x Clients to be treated 4 times What is all about?
