Wooden shower base to improve circulation through cobblestone reflexology

Maximize health benefits during your morning shower

Foot reflexology is a simple, natural healing technique that appears to induce a normalizing response in the body by applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet. Foot acupressure is a similar technique derived from the Chinese tradition which sees the body as a network of energy channels. In fact, many cultures have used some form of foot massage as a healing technique.

Reflexology, acupressure and foot massage are most effective when applied on a regular basis. Just as stress and tension are accumulative, so is the relaxation response. Because it is not always possible to visit a reflexologist regularly, self-massaging devices have been developed for applying pressure to the feet: foot massage mats, rollers, special sandals, etc.

Recognition of reflexology as a valuable natural healing technique has increased in recent years. National and international reflexology organizations now exist, and in many areas practitioners are licensed by local governments.

Cobblestone walking is an ancient health enhancing practice that has been known in China for thousands of years. Cobblestone walkways or foot reflexology parks exist all over China and are utilized by young and old for their health and meditative benefits.

Understanding the time constraints of contemporary living, most of us do not have time to take of our shoes take a stroll in a cobbled courtyard several times a week.

Most people go barefoot in the shower each morning! You can now use that 10 minutes for your own reflexology massage. Simply place it on the floor of your shower stall and step on wooden deck. And it is ready to use.

While showering place your feet on the rounded natural pebbles and use your body weight to gently rock to and fro to massage and stimulate thoes reflexology pressure points on your feet. It is exhilarating and rejuvenates your feet and entire system. Helps with circulation.

This new product has foot scrubbing strips to scrub bottoms of your feet. For that ‘just from the pedicurist feeling’. When you get out of the shower your feet and the rest of your body will thank you.

I sourced natural polished Iron ore which I have been using instead of stone. No scientific evidence it is better or worse. I just think it is cool, if you want to go a step further you could magnatize the stones and use them. Just imagine the possibilities.
