Product Description

Product Description

This complete self-teaching guide is the perfect handbook for beginners and students alike. It uniquely links Eastern and Western approaches to reflexology and health, making this a comprehensive guide to using the meridians and pressure points of the feet to treat a wide range of ailments.

Reflexology, the gentle but highly effective form of therapeutic foot massage, has gained wide acceptance as a powerful, natural healing art. Remarkable results have been achieved with ailments such as back pain, chronic fatigue (ME), digestive problems, eczema, insomnia and migraine.

Inge Dougans’s new book includes her latest research into the benefits of her unique techniques and is a complete self-teaching guide suitable for beginners and students alike.

Bringing together East and West by making clear the close connection between reflexology and Chinese meridian theory, internationally respected reflexologist Inge Dougans shows how the human body has its own internal energy lines – or acupuncture meridians – and reveals how to find and use the reflexology points and associated meridians on the foot to restore the body to its natural balance, prevent ill health and assist relaxation.

This comprehensive handbook includes: • the history of reflexology and the Chinese meridian therapy • an explanation of how reflexology and the meridian theory work • illustrated step-by-step reflexology treatments for specific ailments • treatments of meridian disorders • case histories.

In 1983 she started the School of Reflexology and Meridian therapy and in 1985 she formed the South African Reflexology Society. She gives lectures and workshops on reflexology throughout the UK, Europe and the USA, and runs her own busy practice in South Africa.

Unique - Inge Dougans 10 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
This book is totally unique as the title suggests as it gives a detailed and simplistic description of all the five elements and the twelve meridians. However, as TCM is just a wide subject this book gives you enough information for you to understand to relate to reflexology.
Also excellent diagrams of the muscles that are related to the meridian and how the meridians flow through the body.
All this makes it really good value for money.

A Unique Approach? 3 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
Inge gives a very clear and enjoyable description of the principles of Chinese Medicine and how to use it as part of reflexology treatment. She doesn't agree with the zone therapy theory, however, which obviously doesn't work for her, and I found myself slightly annoyed by this, having used it successfully for over 20 years! But nevertheless, I can recommend this book as an insight in to an alternative way of "diagnosis", interesting in its own right!
