Hi ,

I have a very itchy right palm, just under where my fingers meet my

hand. I've known for years that when this area itches the way you

describe (I've gnawed, too!!) it means my yeast was acting up.

Unfortunately, I never followed through with taking care of my yeast

problem until recently.

Lately, I've been wondering if the areas that itch don't correspond

with the reflexology points on our hands for areas of our body that

are affected. For instance, my right palm in the area I've described

relates to the upper back, lung, breast and chest. I wonder if that

is the area my body is concentrating on fiercely to heal? Just

something I'm kicking around in my head. Thumbs have a lot of areas

represented--type in 'Dorling Kindersley hand reflexology chart' and

you'll find a wonderful interactive picture of your hands that may

help you out. I'd be curious to hear if you find any correlations

between your itchy spots and areas of your body that are healing.

==>Hi . Good for you on observing the connection. I don't

know exactly that they mean but Cathe's suggestion about points in

the hands and feet being connected to different areas/organs in the

body could be a clue. Maybe check out hand and foot flexology

charts, or even the meridian lines for accupuncture or Shiatzu.
