Foot and palm reflexology : a well-being ritual at your fingertips*
2 minutes
In our busy daily lives, it's essential to take time for ourselves and refocus on our well-being. Reflexology, whether plantar (feet) or palmar (hands), is an ancient practice based on the idea that each area of the hands and feet corresponds to an organ or part of the body. By stimulating these precise points, we promote body balance, relaxation and vital energy. A real moment of well-being that goes deep !
The benefits of reflexology
Palmar and plantar reflexology have numerous benefits :
- Promotes blood circulation : activating certain points helps improve blood flow and oxygenate tissues.
- Reduces stress and anxiety : stimulating reflex zones leads to deep relaxation and reduced nervous tension.
- Soothes muscular tension : ideal for relieving back, neck or leg pain.
- Improves quality of sleep : by promoting relaxation, reflexology helps you sleep better and recover.
- Strengthens the immune system : by stimulating certain points, we boost the body's natural defenses.
