What is Yut Do Reflexology?

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, feet,
body and ears that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of
pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and promotes the natural
function of the related areas of the body.

In ancient times we stimulated reflexes naturally by walking barefoot over rocks, stones and rough
ground, or by using our hands more often to climb, build or work. In today’s modern world we have lost
much of nature’s way of maintaining a balanced and healthy equilibrium. Reflexology helps to restore
this balance and promote natural health and vitality.

Reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in such places as China, India and Egypt. In
China, the techniques were used to initially help the soldiers who would fight in the many battles
throughout Chinese history. Before many civilizations could even write simple symbols, China already
had literature that included many massage books with diagrams and techniques within their pages.

An ancient Egyptian wall painting of the 6th Dynasty (approx. 2400 B.C.) found at Saqqara in the tomb of
Ankhmahor, an ancient Egyptian physician, depicts two men working on the feet and hands of two other
men.
Reflexology has been used as a healing therapy by the North American native people for generations,
and was thought to have been passed down by the Inca civilization.

Reflexology has enjoyed a lot of popularity recently for several reasons. Firstly, today we are exposed to
high levels of stress in our jobs, our homes and travels. Stress is without a doubt one of the main
causes of physical and mental pain and suffering, as well as contributing to making symptoms of other
diseases or conditions much worse. Reflexology is a great stress reducer.

Secondly, even though many people are trying to eat organic or healthy foods, even those 'healthy'
foods grown today are grown in soil conditions that are greatly depleted in basic minerals and nutrients
compared to the days of our grandparents. This means that even though people are trying to improve
their diet, it is not easy to do. This lack of minerals combined with stress puts more pressure on our
immune system and health. Reflexology works to allow the body to work to heal itself and normalize
functions.

Thirdly, people are turning more and more to alternative or natural health care which focuses on pro-
active maintenance and holistic or entire body well-being. Traditional 'western' medicine tends to focus
on reactive and specific treatment of disease or symptoms. Reflexology offers an all natural therapy
which does not require anything other than gentle manipulation to stimulate the body's natural healing
mechanisms to normalize and heal. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular methods of natural
therapy, primarily due to the enthusiasm of those who have found and realized the benefits.
