Reflexology treatment is based on the principle that certain areas of the feet - called reflexes - are linked to other areas of the body through the nervous system. The arrangement of the reflexes has a direct relationship to the area of the body they affect. For example, the right side of the foot is linked to the right side of the body. While the tips of the toes correspond to the head. The liver, pancreas and kidneys connect to the arch of the foot, and the lower back and intestines towards the heel.
Start on the right foot, balances the physical aspects of the left-brain. The left foot balances the emotional aspects of the right brain. Start on the right foot; help follows the natural flow of the large intestine. Because, the large intestine begins on the right foot and expels on the left foot.
Start on the left foot balances the most receptive side of the brain. Otherwise, the body might fail to accept the stimulation.
Work on both right and left foot balances the body systems.
Reflexology surely benefits everyone! No matter, whether started on right or left foot.
Put your own experience and stick with the preferred side. The author suggestion is to start on the right foot for men and the left foot for women.
