STEP 14 – CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

broken image

Reflexology isn’t limited to the bottoms of feet, palms of the hand or even the ear. There are many other points on the body that can be stimulated during a Reflexology session, such as the forearm, ankles, knees and many more. The Cardiovascular System has reflex points in the feet, ears, and hands. Studies show that the Cardiovascular System can also be supported by reflex points found in the forearm and chest.

The Cardiovascular System is responsible for transporting blood through your body and is comprised of the heart and all the blood vessels throughout the body. It also supports the immune system, helps to regulate or maintain a constant temperature and assists with fluid balance.

TIP: The heart pressure point can be found in the crease of your wrist. It lies in line with the space between your ring and pinkie finger. There's a bone directly in line next to this pressure point.

On the foot, this reflex point can be found on the left foot, below the fourth and pinky toes, just under the ball of the foot.

On the ear, it can be found just outside the ear canal opening.
