Hand Reflexology Glove
The hand reflexology glove displayed above may look like just a funny hand glove design. But it becomes a much more fascinating item in the perspective of a 1993 United States Patent 5199876, named: ’Hand Reflexology Glove’.<
“A glove that when worn by a user quickly, comfortably, conveniently and effectively applies a specific amount of pressure to a particular point on the wearer’s hand, thereby relieving and/or eliminating pain of the wearer such as from a type of headache. A glove worn by the person with pain, such as a headache, includes an internal pressure point applicator and an inflatable bladder to apply pressure to a desired point on the wearer’s hand.”
VoiceAmerica & hand expert Kenneth Lagerstrom presented in the 2nd episode of their new weekly radio show about hands: “Your Life is in Your Hands – HAND REFLEXOLOGY“ Kenneth Lagerstrom wrote on his blog: “I will be hosting a new show on VoiceAmerica.com, the worlds largest internet talk radio. The show is titled “Your Life is in Your Hands”, with topics each week relating to the hands (of course). Starting March 30 it airs live each Tuesday at 11:00am Pacific time on Voice America’s “7th Wave” channel.” The 2nd episode of the show was featured with the following introduction about ‘hand reflexology’: “Reflexology is considered a safe and effective method of maintaining optimum health, based on the theory that there are reflex points in the hands and feet which are linked to every organ, gland and part of the body. Through proper manipulation of these reflex points, the body’s nervous system naturally shifts to a state of homeostasis (optimum overall balance). Reflexology is an ancient practice first documented more than 4,000 years ago. After millennia of development and clinical application, Reflexology made its way to the United States in the early 1900’s. Our guest this week is Karen Ball, noted reflexologist and certified instructor since 1989. Listen in to today’s show and learn about how your hand reflex points can lead you to better health.” SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER READING: VoiceAmerica presents every tuesday a new episode about hands – 11.00 a.m. Pacific time, 2.00 a.m. Eastern time, 8.00 p.m. Central European time. |

Cold hands, warm heart? – New research says: not true at all! US researchers have pointed out that the old saying ‘cold hands, warm heart’ may not be true at all! The temperature of your hands appear to have an effect on your social perceptions! Recently, US research from the University of Colorado & Yale University has presented two studies focussed on the influence of hand temperature on the social perceptions of people. The researchers found that while holding warm objects, people are inclined to ‘rate’ others more positive (in terms of ‘social warmth’), and warm hands also appeared to make people more generous! The results of the studies indicate that hand temperature is definitely another interesting aspect to be considered during a hand reflexology or hand reading session! Professor John A. Bargh (Yale University) says:

“It appears that the effect of physical temperature is not just on how we see others, it affects our own behavior as well. Physical warmth can make us see others as warmer people, but also cause us to be warmer – more generous and trusting – as well.”

A Valentine’s Day gift idea: surprize your love a hand-massage!
Trouble is, massage, as simple as it sounds, can be fraught with expectation. How to get it just right for your Valentine love? Massage therapist Rekha Von Ehren provided 9 easy reflexology massage tips, and you can learn them by heart today!A quick preview on some of Von Rekhen’s Valentine-massage tips:VALENTINE MASSAGE TIP 1: Be inconsistent. Touch your partner with your fingertips, knuckles, elbows, the full palm and the heel of your palm. Likewise, while touching, use a variety of strokes – from deep rubbing and kneading to tickling and light scratching. And feel free to lean in close, using your body weight to add force. VALENTINE MASSAGE TIP 2:Reflexology says that the hands and feet are microcosms of the body. When tenderly caressed, hands and feet can signal the interior of the body. So, in theory, you can touch a person’s heart by massaging the ball of the left foot, or tap into your beloved’s brain by massaging the big toes. VALENTINE MASSAGE TIP 3: Hands, full of nerve endings, are incredibly sensitive. So massage each finger along the joint to the tip with your fingertips or, perhaps, lips and mouth.

 Reflexology treatment |
Reflexology at Popsugar: Some Western doctors believe that reflexology is nothing more than a relaxing foot massage, but it’s a widespread practice across Asia, and much of Chinese Medicine (such as acupuncture and acupressure) is based on these ‘lines of energy’, in the body. SOURCE: Beauty glossary reflexology |
| Reflexology is a holistic treatment, which takes the view that the feet – and hands– work as maps of the body’s state of health and wellbeing. Reflexology practitioners divide the feet into zones that run from the toes, to the brain, through different parts of the body. There are ten vertical zones, or energy lines – and as pressure is provided to the feet, these lines are stimulated so that the energy is able to flow.For what to expect from a reflexology treatment, just read more.LEARN MORE ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY: REFLEXOLOGY CHARTS | FOOT REFLEXOLOGY HAND REFLEXOLOGY | EAR REFLEXOLOGY
