Video Transcript

"My name is Karen Frazier and I am doing a demonstration for Expert Village. I am a certified natural health professional and the name of my business is Healing Leagues Ministries. The demonstration I am about to show you today is called reflexology and I am going to show you the basic techniques of reflexology and basically what reflexology is, the purpose for it and how we could benefit you. The information I am about to share is only for educational purposes. It is nothing to do with medical treatment or anything that relates to medical treatment. Now let’s begin. First of all reflexology was a study and the practice of working on reflexes of the foot. When we talk about reflexology, we are dealing with the zones of the body. There are 10 basic zones that flow throughout the body from the head all the way down to the foot. In reflexology, basically what we do is we are stimulating different points in the feet and also in the hands but the purpose of this video, I am only going to be using the feet. On this chart here, you see that the foot is broken up into 5 sections. There are 4 lines that separate each section. Now in these sections, there are different body organs and body system that relate to various sections of the foot. "
