From Sole to Soul

One of the earliest forms of reflexology can be found in ancient China, where it was known as "foot massage", based on the principle that different parts of the body are connected to specific reflex points on the feet, and by applying pressure to these points, they stimulate the body's natural healing processes and improve overall health. Similarly in ancient Egyptian civilization, it was known as "foot reading", with the belief that the feet were a map for the body.

In modern times, the principles of reflexology have been further developed and refined, and it is now considered a holistic form of self-care that can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions. Now with the innovation behind reflexology footwear, specially engineered sandals (and insoles) are designed with nodules on the soles to stimulate specific reflex points that correspond to different areas of the body. By simply walking or standing, a gentle massage effect stimulates your organs, muscles and glands to help improve your physical and psychological well-being.

Some of the benefits that have been associated with reflexology footwear include:

• Improved circulation: The pressure points on the soles of the sandals can help to improve blood flow throughout the body, which can lead to better overall health.
• Reduced stress and anxiety: By stimulating the body's natural healing processes, reflexology footwear can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels.
• Increased energy: Improved circulation and reduced stress can lead to increased energy levels and improved overall well-being.
• Relief from pain: By applying pressure to specific points on the feet, reflexology footwear can help to alleviate pain in corresponding areas of the body.
