The first complete book of reflexology to incorporate acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, and the chakra system
• Remaps the entire foot to fine-tune the pressure points

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson takes reflexology to a new level by integrating acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, and other holistic healing modalities into the practice. From her background as a physician, she brings a scientific precision to using the foot as a map of the body and all of its systems. She then uses her training in alternative therapies to integrate the mental and psychological issues that may accompany physical conditions, providing the first complete holistic approach to using reflexology for physical, emotional, and mental health.
Total Reflexology presents each of the major body systems in turn--from the digestive system to the human energetic system--using 25 full-color newly mapped foot diagrams that provide precise indications of pressure points and their correspondences to all areas of the body. The author also includes her latest work using craniosacral therapy and the role of the cerebrospinal fluid in reflexology as well as how to integrate use of the chakra system. She shows how finely tuned reflexology stimulates the body’s self-healing abilities, making this an indispensable resource for the layman and professional alike.

Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson had integrated naturopathy, acupuncture and homeopathy into her medical practice for 25 years before she began her training in reflexology in the 1960s. Faure-Alderson takes reflexology to a new level by integrating alternative therapies and her back ground as a physician at her Total Reflexology Therapy school in Paris. She brings a scientific precision to using the foot as a map of the body and all of its systems providing the first complete holistic approach to using reflexology.

Easily read and understood, this is a great guide for anyone to use and enjoy reflexology at home or in a professional setting. The information is so complete and in depth that any professional healthcare practitioner should add this to their reference library.
