Start by applying gentle pressure as you pull your thumb across your foot, alternating hands – left to right for your right thumb, and right to left for your left thumb. Work in three lines, dragging each thumb 5 times per line. Next apply gentle pressure as you pull your thumbs down along the middle of your foot, working towards your heel. Again, work in three lines, dragging your left and right thumb 5 times per line. Massage the center of your foot by applying gentle pressure with you thumbs and moving in a clockwise direction.
Your stomach reflex point is on the sole of your left foot just beneath the lung reflex point. The small intestine reflex is located on the soles of your feet in the arch area. The gal bladder reflex point is on the sole of your right foot, where the left hand thumb is in the picture above.
Gently rub massage oil or moisturizer into the wrist of your hand, using gentle, sweeping motions with your thumb for about 30 seconds. Continue these sweeping motions as you move up to the palm of the hand, sweeping from the inside of the palm to the edges for about 30 seconds. Turn you hand over and gently run your thumb from the webbing between your fingers to the top of your wrist. Grip each finger and give it a gentle side to side twist, rotating the knuckle joint. Move your hand up and repeat with the second joint and top joint of each finger. Repeat these steps with your other hand.
Start on the soft padding under your fingers. Move on to the center of your palm. Work on the outer edge of your hand, starting under the little finger and continuing to the wrist. Massage the base of your hand, moving from your thumb to the outer edge of you hand. Finish by moving from left to right and back again across your wrist.
Starting at the knuckle at the base of your thumb, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. Work down to the wrist, then move sideways. Continue working from the knuckles to the wrist until you have covered the entire back of your hand. Apply gentle pressure as you work across your wrist.
Lung problems – Focus on the soft padding just below your fingers on the palm of your hand, and on the equivalent area on the back of your hand. Heart problems – Work on the fleshy area at the base of your thumbs. Digestive problems – Work on the areas from the base of your fingers to the last knuckle to stimulate your neck reflexes. Massage the center of your palms to stimulate your stomach and gall bladder. Work across the base of your palm to aid digestion in your small intestine. Stress related problems – Work on your entire finger to stimulate the reflex points associated with the head and neck in order to relieve stress.
Lung and heart problems – Focus on the inside or your ear. Place your index fingers in your ear and rotate gently. You can also gently pull up, down, and to the sides to stimulate the inner ear. [21] X Research source Digestive problems – Run your index finger back and forth over the cymba conchae to stimulate the reflex points associated with the stomach, intestines, liver, colon, spleen, and gall bladder. [22] X Research source Stress related problems – Rub your ear lobe, and then run your index finger along the ridge of cartilage that forms the lower border of the cymba conchae and leads up to the triangular fossa. This will trigger the reflexes for your head, neck, and spine. [23] X Research source
