The Family Guide to Reflexology

I checked this book out from the library and was so pleased that I decided to buy it. I found the colorful foot and hand maps (charts) to be not only interesting but also very helpful and informative. They tell you exactly what other part of your body corresponds to each part of your hand and foot. I have not tried everything in the book yet, but I have had a lot of success with the foot relaxation session and complete feet workouts. I tried them out on family members who were suffering from aches and pains from daily life- within the half hour to an hour that I massaged their feet according to the guide, they not only felt pain free but light, free and filled with health. We do not have any family members suffering from chronic ailments, but she does have special sections dealing with issues such as heart problems. I plan on using this book to help us the next time we should have a sore throat, or back pain, or any other problems, to see if I can't alleviate the pain without medicine. This is a wonderful book that I recommend to anyone who would like to spend quality time with their family, and who would like to explore preventative care instead of constantly popping aspirin for daily life.

I've been interested in reflexology for some time, but could only find charts with little explanation, or books with no hands-on instructions. This book is the answer to my quest. Wonderful charts for feet and hands, and combined with specific and general instructions--I couldn't be happier. This book also has a holistic approach combining aromatherapy and diet; along with personal and family applications. Ms. Gillanders shares her knowledge, her secrets and herself beautifully in this book. Get one for yourself and everyone on your Christmas list!
