Synopsis

The limbic brain is what allows us to laugh and cry, to feel pain and fear, to control fear and pain, to enjoy music and understand humour. It allows us to feel hunger and feel that hunger satisfied. Above all, the limbic brain strives to maintain homeostasis and keep us safe. In short, it is our survival machine.This Textbook aims to provide familiarisation with the nuclei and processes that we aim to influence in Limbic Reflexology and the location of over thirty reflex areas that correspond to those nuclei. The book explores the anatomy and physiology of the limbic brain and Its central role in maintaining homeostatic norms. We explore the neurobiology underpinning learning and memory, mood, anxiety and fear, pain and chronic pain. Finally, we look at the limbic influence in some common conditions and problems that we encounter in our work.The text serves as the course Textbook for both the in-person and online Limbic Reflexology Courses. This revised edition includes those Reflex Areas that have emerged since 2016 and I have also taken the opportunity of correcting or clarifying some material.
