Vita Flex means “vitality through the reflexes.” It is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is exceptionally effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body. It is said to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago and perfected in the 1960’s by Stanley Burroughs.

It is based on a complete network of reflex points that stimulate all the internal body systems. Essential oils are applied to contact points and energy is released through electrical impulses created by contact between the finger tips and reflex points. This electrical charge follows the nerve pathways to a break in the electrical circuit usually caused by toxins, damaged tissues, or loss of oxygen. There are more than 1,400 Vita Flex points throughout the human body, that are capable of releasing many kinds of tension, congestion, and imbalances.

Combining this technique with 1-2 drops of essential oils applied to those areas of the feet that correspond to the system of the body that you wish to support. Rapid and extraordinary results are experienced when combining essential oils with Vita Flex stimulation, as it increases the effects of both.
