Reflexology: Awakening the Foot’s Reflex Point

Reflexology help relieve all types of pain and stress, both mental and physical. If you aren´t able to find relief from conventional medicine, you may want to look into the healing power of touch.

Reflexology sends energy signals that help to put the nervous system back in balance and release chemicals, such as endorphins, that work to reduce pain and discomfort.

*Fact: It’s frequently used for post-operative care. For example, a study in the American Cancer Journal found that one-third of cancer patients used reflexology as a supplementary medical therapy.

It improves balance throughout your body, including in your hormonal systems. Pressing certain points can stimulate your thyroid and pituitary glands. These glands, plus your adrenals, are major players in your endocrine system. Among other things, your endocrine system has the ability to regulate your body clock, and keep your menstrual cycle in tune (if you’re female and premenopausal, that is.) Reflexology techniques done on these areas of the foot have led many devotees to report relief from insomnia and PMS.

Reflexology can aid the removal of mucus, bring relief from cold and flu symptoms and reduce the incidence of asthma attacks. It can help lower blood pressure when the heart area, kidneys, adrenal glands, solar plexus, diaphragm, lungs and chest are all stimulated to work effectively.
