5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Yourself with Foot Reflexology, June 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Healing Yourself with Foot Reflexology: All Natural Relief from Dozens of Ailments (Paperback)

This is a fantastic book! Within a few days after I obtained the book I was able to use the information in it to help a friend overcome severe shoulder pain and poor circulation by massaging the reflexes in her feet. The information in the book was detailed enough to allow me to find her reflex points, massage away crystal deposits at the exact location described in the book and provide relief, even though I had never done anything like this before. It's hard to believe that something this simple could be so effective. I also like the fact that the book adequately emphasizes the point that reflexology is never intended to replace your doctor. As the book states, reflexology is merely a "scientific technique of applying pressure to reflexes that have a definite effect on the normal functioning of all parts of the body." It helps to speed up the natural healing processes in the body. I think everyone could benefit from having a copy of this book at home because the principles of reflexology are practical, they work, they are simple and it doesn't cost anything to put in into practice.

I find this book very helpful and refer to it often. I have been using reflexology for many years and was glad to get this updated book. (I had the older ones.) Some things work better than others, but the suggestions are certainly worth trying and many of them really do make a difference---especially those for heart health.

5.0 out of 5 stars in response to another review, May 15, 2006

This review is from: Healing Yourself with Foot Reflexology (Paperback)

I am writing this in response to Davids review of this book. I found his review infuriating! I am a student of reflexology and am working toward licensure. Reflexology IS NOT about finding one spot on your foot and pressing it to make all your pain go away. Treating sciatica is not mearly pressing one point but treating chronic area reflex, low back/hip/knee reflex, lumbar, sacrum, diaphram and solar plexus reflex areas. Just wanted to put in my two cents just in case anyone decided to not purchase this book because of his review. I do not in any way mean to invalidate the way he felt about it...just doesn't mean that the book is not worth buying for someone who understands the process.

P.S. I haven't purchased the book yet, but my teacher has worked with Mildred and highly recommends it...just thought I would see what others had to say and was moved to write this. (I only put five stars because I had to put something.)
