What is Reflexology? - September 2011By Diane Wiebe, Kelowna, BC
 It seems that people are very interested in natural therapies. One of the more common and popular therapies is reflexology. Although this therapy is easy to learn it is remarkable how effective it can be. Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears and every part of the body corresponds to one of these areas.
Application of pressure to the reflexes relieves tension, improves circulation and promotes the normal function of the body. Although reflexologists may access sensitive reflexes in the feet, hands and ears, reflexology is not intended to be painful. These sensitive reflexes often reflect tension in the related area of the body.
Reflexology has an accumulative effect and as successive reflexology sessions are had, the sensitivities dissipate. Reflexology is a practical therapy to know as it can be done anywhere and anytime. It can be done on yourself as well: while waiting in line, at meetings, even while watching TV or as a passenger in a car.
Reflexology is a wonderful gift if someone is not feeling well. As well as being a very relaxing experience for both the mind and body, reflexology is recognized as an established, respected and effective therapy.

India is Canada's best customer, and we also ship tonnes of asbestos to countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Sri Lanka. Why? Because asbestos is useful. Heat- and chemical-resistant, it is used in brake pads, vinyl flooring, and construction materials. Asbestos is also cheap. Quebec's Jeffrey Mine has filed for bankruptcy protection. Jeffrey Mine, one of the two remaining Canadian mines, is asking for a loan guarantee of $58 million to allow the company to extract 200,000 tonnes of asbestos a year..... | | Full Article |
