Reflexology Reflexology, an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians. Reflexology is a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet, hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems. Reflexology is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using reflexology promotes physiological improvements in the body. (For more information on reflexology, be sure to check out the Holistic Junction Business Directory for practitioners and schools specializing in reflexology.) Reflexology is the correspondence of the reflexes in the feet and hands to the organs and all parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes with this unique technique can promote the body's own healing potential to promote better health. Reflexology is primarily used for relaxing tension. Reflexology restores natural balance and revitalization. Not intended to cure diseases, reflexology is valuable in locating high stress or tension areas in the body. Reflexology can be utilized in encouraging natural healing. Since 75% of all health problems are linked to stress, reflexology could prove invaluable in this day and age.

Are You Suffering From Chronic Constipation? Embarrassing as it may be, we have all suffered from constipation at one time in our life or another. According to the National Health Interview Survey as many as 3 million Americans suffer from frequent if not chronic constipation.

Wild Medicine and Tansy Cakes It started with the Tansy cakes. I had to ask myself 'Why would anyone eat anything so utterly disgusting in taste'?

Reasons suggested for this include the fact that the dried flower lasts forever or that it has a medicinal quality contributing to long life. Looking back to Greek literature, Tansy was given by the Gods to Ganymede to make him immortal. In the language of flowers the gift of Tansy means 'Rejected address' - " I am not interested in you". Its strange taste, not unlike the smell of 'mothballs' might have something to do with this. Aromatherapy for Common Ailments Aromatherapy works in several ways to combat common ailments.
