What is Foot Zoning?



What is Foot Zonology?

Foot Zonology is the science of the signal system in the feet. It consists of both Zone Balance and Zone Analysis. Zone Balance is the method of utilizing these signals to balance, restore, rejuvenate, and repair our bodies. Zone Analysis is the process of analyzing what is felt through the signals.
This method of natural healing has helped thousands of people of all ages to overcome difficulties they are suffering from. These difficulties include major and minor discomforts, chronic pain, illness, diseases, weight issues, addictions, emotional problems, etc.
Foot Zoning works with the entire body as a whole and not individual symptoms. This allows the body to work as a system and completely eliminate the problem instead of just treating one symptom.

Where did Foot Zonology come from?

Foot Zonology began with Zone Therapy. Zone Therapy, in some form, has been practiced as a healing method for thousands of years. It has come and gone with the rise and fall of civilizations. Hieroglyphics and ancient paintings depicting this therapy have been found in Egypt and India. The modern history of Zone Therapy begins with Dr. William Fitzgerald, (1872-1946) an American nose and throat specialist. He developed a theory describing the electrical circuits or meridians in the body. Dr. Edwin Bowers documented his work. In the 1950`s a Norwegian named Dr. Charles Ersdal, M.D., M.A., was cured from paralysis using Zone Therapy. This experience thrust him into 26 years of intense research.
He determined that the body contains its own innate healing intelligence which is stimulated or triggered through specific and intricate Foot Zone Therapy. This method utilizes the feet's natural "signal" system to establish balance, elevate your life energy and renew cells in the body. Importantly, he discovered that the body would consistently respond as a dynamically interrelated whole rather than as separate symptomatic parts. During this time of research, Dr. Ersdal was able to chart the human anatomy as it relates to these "points" on the foot. He charted the entire physiology including the brain, blood and lymph circulation, and musculature. (Reference:Academy of Foot Zone Therapy .)
Katri Nordblom, a Zone Therapist trained by Dr. Ersdal, began to teach and spread this method of healing in Sweden. In the spring of 1989 Katri and her husband Hans brought Zone Therapy to the United States.  Through their constant learning, studying, and practice, they discovered how to connect the signals on the feet back to the inner blueprint, or light vessels that the energy runs through, inside of the body.  This allows the body to restore itself back to its original state.  This new and more in depth and comprehensive method was called FootZonology.  In 1990 they established the Nordblom American Institute of FootZonology.


How Zoning Works

You can tell everything that is going on in the body through the very complex signal system that is on the feet. This signal system is connected to every cell in the body.
The basic role of a cell is to die and create new cells. This is how our body is able to recover from illnesses or heal from an injury. However, our cells hold memories just like we hold memories in our brain. That is why when you get a cut, the cut can heal, but there will still be a scar because those cells hold the memory of the cut. When cells get altered in some way (this happens through bacteria, virus, unhealthy food, emotional and mental stress or trauma, etc.) and hold this new memory, they are unable to reproduce new cells in their original "healthy" state. They are mutated and damaged so our bodies slowly break down over time.  This enables illness and disease to set in as well as other emotional and mental disturbances.
Foot Zoning has the ability to go in and remove the old corrupted memory from the cells and bring them back to their original state. Then the cells can again produce healthy cells that will heal the body from the inside out and eliminate the problem all together instead of just treating symptoms. This process does not all happen in one treatment, but with regular treatments and improving your lifestyle, your overall health will improve immensely and life will again be filled with joy and energy.


Benefits of Zoning

Everyone can benefit from having their feet zoned. This method of healing can be performed on newborn babies to the very elderly and everyone in between.
Some of the benefits from receiving this treatment are:
renewal and rejuvenation of the body's cell systems, being able to access the current state of your health, renewing and raising the body's life energy, balancing the body's systems, individually, and in relation to each other, disease prevention, improving overall health and improving the body's immune system, aids in regaining health after major illness or injury, increases longevity.


Difference Between Foot Zoning and Reflexology

Foot Zoning is not Reflexology. Many people tend to consider these two methods of healing one in the same; however, they are very different. Reflexology uses pressure points on the feet and hands that correspond with different muscle groups or organs in the body. Through these pressure points pain and energy can be released from the body. Reflexology is not tied to the cells in the body and is only a part treatment that works on the symptoms occurring at the present time.
Foot Zoning treats the entire body as a system and every treatment is the same so no part (or cell) of the body is left out. This is why through Foot Zoning the problems can be eliminated from the body and not just temporarily relieved.
