FEN Reflexology Guide

Our hands are our hardest-working companions—they create, they inspire, they nurture. Yet, so often they go unnoticed. When was the last time you truly appreciated all that your hands do for you?

At Reia, we believe in honouring the small, consistent actions that make a big difference. That’s why each order of our FEN Hand Cream comes with a pocket-sized guide to hand reflexology, an ancient practice that harmonises body and mind. As you indulge in the rich, woody scent of FEN Hand Cream, explore these simple reflexology techniques to elevate your hand care routine into a self-care ritual.

A Glimpse into the Roots of Reflexology

Reflexology has been practised for thousands of years, with roots tracing back to ancient Egypt, China, India, and Native American cultures. While modern reflexology as we know it was formalised in the early 20th century, it draws on these deep, ancient traditions. By stimulating specific pressure points on the hands, you can support various systems of the body, promoting balance and wellness.

Here are three (or four) key reflexology points to explore:

Lungs

• Location: The reflex area for the lungs is situated in the central part of your palm, just beneath the base of the fingers.
• Technique: Gently apply pressure with your thumb or index finger, moving in small, circular motions.
• Benefit: This practice is intended to support respiratory health and promote ease of breathing. We encourage you to take a few deeper breaths whilst massaging and enjoying the deep, grounding aroma of Vetiver.

Brain

• Location: The brain reflex area is near the tip of your thumb.
• Technique: Use your thumb or fingertips to apply gentle pressure, massaging in circular motions.
• Benefit: Stimulating this point is thought to aid mental clarity and promote overall cognitive function.

Spine

• Location: The spine reflex area runs vertically from the base of the thumb towards the wrist.
• Technique: Apply pressure with your thumb, moving in a vertical direction. Use both circular and back-and-forth motions.
• Benefit: This reflex area is linked to back health and spinal support.

Ovaries

• Location: The reflex points for the ovaries are found on the edge of the palm, near the base of the pinky finger.
• Technique: Use light to moderate pressure, applying gentle, circular or tapping motions.
• Benefit: This area supports reproductive health and hormonal balance.

Take a few moments each day to honour the work your hands do, turning an ordinary ritual into an extraordinary one.
