The Messages on Your Face: Decoding Bumps and Blemishes with Face Reflexology

By Sam Belyea a.k.a. The Foot Whisperer

​“It’s just a zit!” my clients will say. Surprise - No it’s not!

Acne, Rosacea and various bumps, blemishes, moles and ‘beauty marks’ are all significant in Face Reflexology. Recently, I had a client who was drastically changing their diet to increase their caloric intake so their body could be more nourished and erase some symptoms revolving around their deficiency. This change produced an irritation on the left upper and lower digestive reflexes that you can see in the picture to the right. Amazing! The body was irritated at the drastic change in diet but the red color also indicates fresh circulation coming to those reflex areas which one would expect with new tissue growth. We know this all by looking at the face!

The face is such an interesting landscape and when I explain that the whole body can be mapped on the face people will tell me crazy stories about injuries, histories of skin conditions and wonderful testimonials that validate how the face truly is a reflection of the body. For now, let’s decode the various sections of the face and then I will have a list for you to look at below regarding what certain issues on the face represent:
