Body reflexology
1. System of reflexology or acupressure that encompasses pressing, pulling, massaging, and clamping “reflex points” on the face, tongue, ears, scalp, nape, hands, crotch, buttocks, shins, and feet. These so-called reflex points, also termed “reflexes” and “reflex buttons,” include about a hundred pinnal acupoints. 2. Healing at Your Fingertips (1994) defines “reflex points” as “energy junctions that relay and reinforce energy along meridian lines of the body, passing energy toward the organs and the nervous system.” The book states that the palm of the right hand is “positive” and “stimulates energy,” and that the palm of the left hand is “negative,” sedative, and “cleaning.” | |
