Reflexology sequences use targeted pressure points on the feet, body, and head to stimulate internal organ healing and relieve tension.
Here is the complete guide to reflexology points translated into English:
Foot Reflexology Points (The Foundation)
The feet contain the most dense reflex zones representing the entire body:
Tips of the Toes: Represent the head, brain, and sinuses to reduce mental stress.
- Center of the Big Toe: Stimulates the pituitary gland to help regulate hormones.
- Outer Side of the Big Toe: Stimulates the pineal gland to improve sleep cycles.
- Base of the Toes: Connects to the neck and shoulders to relieve stiffness.
- Upper Third of the Sole (Ball of the Foot): Connects to the heart and lungs.
- Center of the Sole (Arch): Connects directly to digestive organs like the stomach, liver, and kidneys.
- Heel of the Foot: Represents the pelvis, sciatic nerve, and reproductive system.
Body Pressure Points (Acupressure / Body Reflexology)
Body points focus on energy pathways (meridians) for muscle and organ relief:
- Union Valley (He Gu): Located in the webbed flesh between your thumb and index finger. This point is highly effective for relieving headaches, toothaches, and stress.
- Outer Gate Point: Located on the top of the forearm, about three finger-widths up from the wrist crease. It helps boost energy and the immune system.
- Shoulder Well (Jian Jing): Located in the shoulder muscle, halfway between the neck and the edge of the shoulder. It eases stress, neck pain, and shoulder tension.
- Leg Three Miles (Zusanli): Located four finger-widths below the bottom of the kneecap, on the outer side of the shin bone. This is a master point for digestive issues and chronic fatigue.
Head & Face Reflexology Points
The head is highly sensitive and provides rapid nervous system relaxation:
- Hundred Convergences (Baihui): Located at the exact top-center of the head. Massaging this in gentle circles helps relieve dizziness and calm the mind.
- The Temples (Taiyang): The tender depressions on the sides of your forehead. Pressing gently here relieves migraines and tension headaches.
- The Third Eye (Yintang): Located between the eyebrows, right above the bridge of the nose. It helps reduce insomnia, anxiety, and sinus congestion.
- Wind Pool (Fengchi): Two depressions at the base of the skull, on either side of the thick neck muscles. It relieves tension headaches, eye strain, and stiff necks.
