Total Reflexology of the Hand by Dr Martine Faure-Alderson presents a specialised method combining craniosacral therapy with foot reflexology, applied uniquely to the hands. The book explains the intimate link between the hand and the brain, making hand reflexology particularly effective for treating neurological, mental, and emotional disorders. It features full-colour, detailed maps of pressure points and zones on the hands, based on over 40 years of research and clinical practice. The author demonstrates how to use occipital zones of craniosacral therapy to identify which hand points to treat and explores the psychological aspects of brain-hand interactions.

How to apply the precise treatment techniques of Total Reflexology, which combines craniosacral therapy and foot reflexology, to the hands

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

How to apply the precise treatment techniques of Total Reflexology, which combines craniosacral therapy and foot reflexology, to the hands.

Explains the special relationship between the hand and the brain, making hand reflexology ideal for treatment of neurological, mental, and emotional disorders.

Details how to use the occipital zones of craniosacral therapy to pinpoint which zones and points on the hands to treat.

Includes full-colour detailed maps of the pressure points and zones of the hands.

One of the most defining physical characteristics of humanity, the hands contain reflex zones and pressure points related to the systems and organs of the body, just like the feet. The reflex zones and points of the hands present the most effective means of treating psychological and neurological disorders due to their sophisticated relationship with the brain.

Applying her ground-breaking combination of reflexology and craniosacral therapy to the hands, Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson explains how to use hand reflexology to treat the brain and each of the body’s systems, from the digestive system to the human energetic system. She provides precise full-colour mapped hand diagrams illustrating the exact placement of the points according to the bones of the hands, the result of more than 40 years of research and clinical practice. She explains how to use the occipital zones of craniosacral therapy to pinpoint which zones and points on the hands to treat.

Examining the psychological level of brain-hand interactions, the author reveals how neurological dysfunctions and mental disorders respond more readily to hand reflexology than to other forms of therapies. She explains how many physical ailments have a psychological component and how reflexology automatically triggers the release of endorphins by working directly on the autonomic nervous system.

The author explores the role of nutritional supplements, including Omega 3s, as a support to reflexology therapy and shows how finely tuned reflexology stimulates the body’s self-healing abilities and cellular regeneration, making this an indispensable resource for holistic health practitioners and for home self-care.
