Reflexology On The Face And On The Lips

“The key to health is on your face and in your hands” This book presents a self-care method unique in its genre, which offers extraordinary, sometimes amazing and often immediate results for all kinds of disharmony in the body. The method began life in 1980s Vietnam – like many important discoveries, a result of war and necessity – independent of resource availability. It was developed by a group of acupuncturists to put healing in the hands of the masses by replacing needles with equally effective blunt rounded tools. It is the most recent reflexology on the planet and has nothing to do with other oriental techniques related to the face. Today ‘Dien Chan’ is a popular and accepted method of healthcare in its home country and part of their official system. However, it is the work of two self declared Italian ‘free-sprits’, over the past twenty years, which has suitably translated the technique and advanced it to meet the needs of modern Westerners. No longer a painful stimulation of pre-defined points; it has evolved to a relaxing massage of zones and individual, personalised points. ‘Dien Chan Zone’ incorporates simplified principles and teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, protocols for allergies and intolerances, a unique Facial-Cranial reflexology and a beauty treatment to tone muscle and regulate skin function. It is the authors’ overriding intention to facilitate learning and to make this method accessible to everyone. In this book they share full instructions for self-treatment which they know present a great frontier of freedom, and the medicine of the future. Contains 95 full colour maps Beatrice Moricoli, founder of S.I.R.F.A./A.I.R.F.I. in Milan, is the first female teacher of Dien Chan (Zone) in Italy, but for many years has practiced also as a therapist and teacher of Reiki, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Chinese Medicine and ‘The Blowing Technique’. Vittorio Bergagnini, founder of S.I.R.F.A./A.I.R.F.I. in Milan, is a teacher of Dien Chan Zone as well as Tai Chi Chuan, Reiki, Foot Reflexoogy and Wung Chun.

Feet are a masterpiece of structural engineering, beautifully designed, in perfect coordination with many muscles. In a very small space they include 26 bones, 33 joints, 114 ligaments, 20 muscles and an intricate network of nerves and blood vessels. Wonderful structures that fully reflect our State of Health. The fact that the "Foot Plant", like eyes and skin, communicates directly with the Central Nervous System (it is a basic element of the Postural System) makes us realize the complex system of relationships that occurs within the most disparate parts of the Body. Here's how targeted Reflexology Massage can help our body to get rid of toxins accumulated in some parts of it. The Reflexology Massage is based on "Pressures" in specific parts of the Foot which result to have correspondences with each organ of the Body and thereby determining Reactivation States and improvement of the related physiological functions. Plantar reflexology acts on the whole organism, stimulating all the positive forces, influencing the various organs and corporeal systems: Circulatory, Nervous, Digestive and so on, normalizing and balancing its functioning. Starting from my experience as a Massotherapist and Bioenergetist I can say that my clients, family members and friends have found well-being and an improvement in health from their feet massage. From the very first moment I met this Practice many years ago, I remember having always wanted to have a nice Foot Massage done every evening. The results have always been of well-being and a sense of rest. This is one of the things that led me to want to share this experience with you, because our Feet are our base, the "Base of our Life".

Derived from methods of foot massage used in some ancient societies, reflexology as we know it today was popularized in the 20th century. It involves the application of pressure to specific energy zones of a subject’s feet and hands by a practitioner, to pinpoint and treat health problems. If the flow in a zone is blocked or out of balance, it could affect the part of the body that particular reflex area relates to. Using this pocket guide, learn to identify the longitudinal and transverse zones in the feet and hands, and how to apply pressure to specific points in order to alleviate physical symptoms, promote energy flow around the body, and encourage good health.

The skin on the outsides of the sensory organs on the head have special somatotopic qualities. The ears may be the best known of these systems, but the bridge of the nose can be used as well for treatments. These reflexology points can be treated with acupuncture needles for functional disorders and painful conditions of the associated organs. In addition to these reflexology zones have also a meaning in cosmetics because they show that an organ is momentarily subjected to high stress. Pimples, blemished skin or recurring skin disorders may be regarded as signs for such an overload. One of the authors, who rendered outstanding researches to this largely unknown somatotope is undoubtedly the German physician and dentist Dr . Jochen Gleditsch. Dear friends of reflexology, thank you for your interest in my reflexology charts which have proven their effectiveness in nearly three decades.
