Latest book written by Inge Dougans: reflexology, the 5 elements and their 12 meridians – a unique approach.

Published by HarperCollins ISBN 0 00 719827 2

Inge Dougans has been practising and teaching reflexology for over 25 years both in SA and around the world. These years of experience have made it clear to her that elements of traditional Chinese Medicine can – and indeed should – play a vital role in the effective practice of reflexology. For example, when you work with a patient to assess the root cause of an ailment or condition, The Chinese meridian system is more accurate that the ten reflexology zones. It is time for reflexology to revisit its Eastern roots and draw vital lessons from its ancient heritage to enhance its practice.

Chapter 1 takes a look at the history of reflexology and how it developed into what we know today;
Chapters 2 and 3 introduce the principles of Chinese Medicine and show how they can be applied to reflexology to facilitate more effective healing;
Chapter 4 takes a close look at the traditional Chinese systems of the 5 elements and their 12 meridians from a Western perspective and interprets the traditional characteristics of fire, earth, metal, water and wood for the modern world;
Chapter 5 maps the reflexes on the feet (linking many back to the meridians);
Chapter 6 studies the anatomy, structure and various conditions of the feet; and
Chapter 7 shows how to put it all together and give a full reflexology treatment.
