Foot Reflexology

Foot Reflexology at Yinyang – Specialising in Traditional Chinese Wellness

What is Foot Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-intrusive supplementary therapy that uses gentle pressure on specific areas of the feet (sometimes hands and ears). These areas are believed to be connected to different parts of the body.

Foot Reflexology is one of the many treatments that form the widely trusted and age-old, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Traditional Chinese therapies firmly believe in taking the holistic approach to healing, treating the body as a whole.

It’s rooted in the concept of Qi (pronounced “Chee”), the vital energy known to flow within the body. Blockages, imbalance or improper flow of Qi, as believed in TCM, will result in illnesses that foot reflexology aims to cure.

The benefits of Foot Reflexology

Foot Reflexology may help alleviate pain, relieve your mind of stress, and make you feel more energised. It’s a complete, therapeutic experience.

Acute medical conditions tend to bear down on the mind and slow down recovery. Reflexology augments the treatment one might already be undergoing for those medical conditions.

Reflexology has helped people in:

Reducing anxiety
Reducing pain
Lifting their mood
Boost emotional and physical well-being

Furthermore, people who’ve undergone Foot Reflexology have reported that it aided them with:

Cold and Bacterial infections
Sinus issues
Back problems
Hormonal imbalances

What is a Foot Reflexology Chart

The theory of Reflexology suggests that specific points on the feet are linked to particular body parts through an energy channel.

A foot reflexology chart is essentially a map of your feet.

It helps a therapist figure out which point needs the pressure to unblock the energy channel to its corresponding body part.

Foot Reflexology for Migraine

According to Reflexology, there is a connection between the tip of the toes and the head.

Applying optimum pressure on the bottom of the toes can help with relieving headaches, especially with people suffering from Migraine.

A 2018 placebo-controlled clinical trial revealed a reduction in headache intensity when Reflexology was used.

Foot Reflexology for High Blood Pressure

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is closely connected to blockages in the Liver Meridian.

A meridian is a set of pathways in the body along which energy is said to flow.

LV3 or Liver 3 is a vital acupressure point for lowering blood pressure. It is situated on the top of the foot, on the web margin of skin between the big toe and the second toe.

Conclusion

Other than Migraine and High Blood Pressure, Reflexology has proved to alleviate pain and act as a supplementary treatment for cancer!
Foot Reflexology has also helped people melt away the tension induced by highly competitive work environments.
Remember, Reflexology can be a blissful addition to an existing pharmacological treatment. You don’t have to choose between them.

Discover How Massage Can Help You Sleep Better

Sound Sleep is one of the most important factors in leading a healthy and balanced life. While we sleep, we automatically recharge, repair and rejuvenate our bodies. Despite its significance, many of us- especially in Dubai- are deficient in terms of time and quality of sleep.

It is recommended that adults should receive anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep at night, but if you’re not even reaching the minimum amount, or it fluctuates from night to night, you are not alone. It is estimated globally that one in three adults between the ages of 35 and 64 are not getting enough sleep- whether that is due to chronic stress, our environment, work schedule, etc. The good news for people with sleep disorders like insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is that massage in general, and Swedish Massage and Foot Reflexology in particular, have been proven to be extremely effective in treating sleep-related problems. Researchers attribute this to the relaxing effect of touch that helps promote relaxation and sleep among those with insomnia, and also helps regulate one’s body temperature.

Massage has many proven therapeutic effects that enhance our sleep quality, including lowering stress and anxiety, and managing muscle tension and pain. Research suggests that getting a massage benefits our mental wellbeing by increasing the release of hormones like serotonin and dopamine, which make us happy, more relaxed, help us to control our mood, and decreases levels of the stress hormone- also known as cortisol- within our system.

Feeling more relaxed throughout your day can help you feel more relaxed at night, which is key when trying to fall asleep. Getting a relaxing massage can help with this, by loosening any strains, improving circulation, and relieving any tension and pain in the body.

A regular massage can help in reducing aches and pains and can lead to a more relaxed, pain-free sleep. Many people find an evening massage even more beneficial, as it helps to ease away the day’s pain and tension, improves circulation, relieves anxiety, and eases muscle tension. No matter what time of the day you prefer your massage, do book your massage appointment today and experience a blissful sleep.

At Yinyang, we’ve made it our mission to see that everyone can experience the healing power of massage all over Dubai in any of our conveniently located branches in Al Safa, Jumeirah, Beach Center, The Village Mall and JBR Walk.

How acupressure can help with Asthma, Arthritis and Alopecia

In our previous blog, we explored the benefits that acupressure offers, as well as its specific effects on those suffering from chronic knee, back and neck pain, as well as its ability to reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. In today’s blog, we will explore some more conditions that can be countered using acupressure, like asthma, arthritis and alopecia. These treatments have been devised and evolved over centuries, reacting to patient input and changes in symptoms post-treatment to create a recommended course of action.

Asthma- Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects the breathing of millions of people across the globe. When a person suffers from asthma, the lining of the airways becomes inflamed or swollen, making them extra-sensitive to irritation due to external elements and allergic reactions. People suffering from this condition often experience symptoms like periodic attacks or episodes of tightness in the chest, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing. The most challenging part about asthma for medical practitioners is that it cannot be cured, and can only be managed. Moreover, it is not age-bound- a small child can start developing symptoms, as can an 80 year old adult.

Western medicine recommends the use of inhalers and other anti-allergy medication to keep the symptoms under control, but many people are reluctant to use these options as a long-term solution due to the presence of steroids within them. Acupressure is a safe and easy option, with no side-effects or long-term repercussions that can reduce the severity of an ongoing attack and reduce the chances of another attack occurring in the future. Acupressure has been shown to reduce issues such as chest congestion, stimuli to substances that provoke an allergic reaction, coughing, breathing difficulty and wheezing.

Arthritis- Much like asthma, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic progressive condition that causes the joints in the body to inflame, resulting in acute pain and a loss of mobility, especially in the fingers, wrists, ankles, feet and knees. As we discussed in our last blog, conditions like arthritis that cause acute pain often result in the long-term use of pain-relieving medication, which can often create a whole new set of problems that are just as debilitating as the condition they are trying to cure, even if they are less visible.

While acupressure is not intended to be a standalone course of treatment, there are specific techniques in the field of acupressure that are designed to reduce the symptoms of arthritis, such as pain relief, joint inflammation, fatigue reduction, stress relief and toxin release.

Alopecia- Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes one’s hair to fall out, often in clumps that are roughly the size and shape of a small coin. The amount of hair loss is different in each case, but hair loss is the defining characteristic of the condition. Since alopecia is classified as an autoimmune disorder, the courses of treatment prescribed under Western medicine can be rather stressful on one’s body, often resulting in complications and side-effects.

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes alopecia to be caused by a lack of equilibrium within the body, and believes that once the equilibrium has been restored, the condition will be resolved. The aim is then to speed up the process of recovery by stimulating hair growth by promoting blood circulation and stimulating the internal organs.

Acupressure has been practiced for millennia, and can help with a host of conditions. To learn if acupressure can help you, get in touch with our team today!

How acupressure can help with Chronic Pain and Supplement Cancer Treatment

Acupressure is a completely non-invasive technique that only involves the application of pressure to certain points on nerve-rich portions of the body such as the hands or feet that correspond to the source of the discomfort.

Acupressure has been studied for thousands of years by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its basic premise is that the energy pathways that flow throughout the body end in the same basic areas-the feet, the hands and the ears. If there is an energy blockage relating to a particular part of the body, it can be corrected by working on the end (or beginning, depending on how you choose to look at it) of that particular pathway.

Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine spent centuries correctly identifying the part of the foot that corresponds to each individual body part, allowing today’s students to build on that work by learning the maps made by experts in the past. For example, sinus trouble can be counteracted in acupressure by focusing on the tips of the toes of the left foot. In a similar manner, there is a part of the left or right foot that corresponds to nearly every body part, helping clear those energy pathways and making you feel better in the process.

Acupressure has been successfully used to combat various conditions that require long-term treatment, sometimes as an alternative to Western medicine and sometimes as a supplemental treatment.

Chronic Pain- One of the most commonly sought-after acupressure treatments is in response chronic pain. Acupressure treatments for back pain, knee pain and neck pain are becoming more popular with each passing year as more and more people undergo successful treatment for chronic pain and then recommend the same to their acquaintances. The acupressure treatment for such conditions is fairly straightforward- one simply needs to apply pressure to the corresponding pressure points, with most people reporting a drop in pain levels within the first few sessions.

According to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, over 30% of Americans suffer from some form of chronic pain, and a large percentage of those people are prescribed long-term opioids in order to deal with that pain. The problem is that long term usage of opioids builds tolerance for the medication within the body, which means that people eventually take more and more medication to combat the same amount of pain. This is extremely risky, as it can eventually lead to an overdose. Prescription drugs were the most common source of drug overdoses- more than double the number for heroin, according to the same article.

Supplemental Cancer Treatment- One of the most popular forms of acupressure treatment is in the form of a supplementary cancer treatment to patients undergoing chemotherapy. While acupressure is not a treatment for cancer, it can help to reduce the side-effects of cancer treatment and chemotherapy. Acupressure helps by reducing nausea, relieving pain, reducing stress and boosting energy levels, allowing chemotherapy patients to feel more like their old selves and thereby speeding up the recovery process.

Acupressure can help with a variety of conditions, and the best part is that it does so without side-effects and is completely non-invasive. Both our Meridian Shiatsu massage and foot reflexology massage incorporate principles of acupressure into the treatment- get in touch with our team if you would like to book an appointment.
