CHINESE

REFLEXOLOGY 101



Yin and Yang

•  Yin and Yang are cornerstone of TCM theory and diagnosis

•  Way to explain universe •  Yin: female, cold, dark, earth,

substance •  Yang: male, warm/hot, light,

heaven, function/action

5/18/18

Yin and Yang in Your Body

•  Yin is substance, blood, and !uids •  Yang is function, action, qi, life

force energy •  Qi helps direct !ow of blood, air,

lymph, and even food •  Both must be in balance for the

body to be in balance



Healing with Energy

•  Yin and Yang support each other

•  Strengthening Yang (qi/energy) can help strengthen Yin

•  Heal with energy to restore harmony in the physical body



•  Ancient healing art of foot massage

•  Based on principle of qi (life force energy)

•  Chinese Re!exology helps strengthen and balance qi (Yang), which can then help the body (Yin)

What Is Chinese Re!exology?

SHOULDERS

HEAD

KNEES

AND TOES!



FATIGUE, LOW ENERGY,

HYPOTHYROIDISM



•  Your body has an energy “battery” that you are born with

•  Stores your life force •  Size and charge depends on

parents’ health and vitality •  You charge or drain your battery

based on your lifestyle

Chinese Medicine: Your Energy Battery

5/18/18

9



•  Kidney Jing = stored life force in your Kidneys •  Congenital Jing is inherited from parents •  Kidney yin and yang contribute to Jing •  Can add to Kidney Jing through rest, sleep, good

nutrition, meditative activities, self-nurturing •  Can drain Kidney Jing through stress, fear,

overwork, pushing yourself too hard, not enough sleep, poor diet

Kidneys and Kidney Jing



•  When Jing is low, overall life force is low •  Less resilience, overall weakness •  Tired, exhausted, fatigued; feel cold all the time •  Energy source too low to fuel body, mind, and

spirit •  When Kidney Jing is fully depleted, life force is

no longer present

Importance of Kidney Jing



•  Hashimoto’s: immune system attacks thyroid •  Underactive thyroid •  Insufficient production of thyroid hormones •  Symptoms: fatigue, feeling cold, weak muscles

and joints, weight gain, thinning hair, dry skin, depression, problems with memory and concentration, constipation, heavy or irregular periods, delayed puberty

Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s

5/18/18

•  Growth and development •  Reproductive system: fertility, sexual

function, menstrual cycles •  Strong bones and teeth •  Brain and nervous system •  Shiny healthy hair

Kidneys Support



•  Most important point for overall health, vitality, and longevity

•  Very likely to be sensitive point for most people •  Due to lifestyle choices, pushing oneself too

hard, giving away energy to others •  Essential to strengthen Kidneys and recharge

Jing to increase energy levels •  Use this point to test your battery

Kidney – Powerhouse Re!exology Point

•  Do one hour before or after eating •  Drink lots of water •  No alcohol; eat lighter and healthier

Chinese Re!exology Guidelines



•  Don’t practice while pregnant, especially #rst trimester •  CAUTION for heart condition, diabetes or

compromised immune system •  Don’t massage randomly; follow guidelines and

instructions (for hands, not a re!exology stick) •  If you feel friction, apply lubricant such as massage oil

or moisturizer; stop massaging if skin is irritated •  If you’re not sure, ask your doctor whether it is safe for

you to practice re!exology

5/18/18

22



•  Small organ located in upper left side of abdomen

•  Filters old red blood cells, and stores white blood cells

•  TCM: Stomach and Spleen are primary organs responsible for digestion

Spleen: What Is It?



•  Good digestion, which provides day-to-day qi; energy from food

•  Strong limbs, muscles, and connective tissue •  Weak Spleen can lead to prolapsed organs, hernias •  Maintain balance and distribution of !uids in body •  Associated emotion is worry and pensiveness

TCM View: Healthy Spleen Supports



•  Weakness in Spleen increases likelihood of being overweight

•  When Spleen is not effectively transforming and transporting !uids, there is excess !uid (aka fat)

•  Low energy levels, feel tired, less likely to exercise •  Decrease in muscle lowers resting metabolism

(rate at which you burn calories)

Spleen and Weight Gain

•  Easier to restore balance when condition is simple, “super#cial”, body is relatively resilient, and condition has not been ongoing for a long time

•  Easiest to restore balance when imbalance is only at energy level

Website Articles



•  Great start for improving energy levels and strengthening the body

•  Massage twice a week: –  Kidney: 30 to 60 seconds each foot –  Spleen: 30 to 60 seconds on left foot

•  Times are only for these two points

Chinese Re!exology Points to Massage

5/18/18

31



•  Ongoing for years •  Depletes Jing, which makes body less resilient (less

energy to heal) •  Greater “attachment” to condition •  Always involves disharmony in more than one

organ/meridian, AND interaction between them •  Unique combination of disharmonies and mental/

emotional factors for each individual

Chronic and/or Complicated Conditions



•  Start by strengthening overall body, organs and energy meridians

•  Build a solid foundation for healing •  Let go of mental and emotional blocks and fears •  Need a holistic approach •  More points creates synergistic and exponential

effect because everything is interconnected •  Whole is greater than sum of parts
