If you are suffering from pain, stress or tension, holistic therapies can be an effective treatment whilst allowing you to remain in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Reflexology involves applying pressure to a range of specific points on your hands and feet. It follows a theory that these points correspond with vital organs, glands, tissues and muscles, aiming to help the body function normally and decrease pain. It is an approach to holistic health that many people have adapted over the years and can be effective in treating a multitude of physical and psychological ailments. Here are 5 benefits to reflexology;
Relaxation The process of reflexology doesn’t only involve the calming feeling of having your feet and hands touched, but can slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and encourage easy and deep breathing. This all adds up to a tranquil and stress-free state-of-mind.
Eliminates Harmful Toxins Your blood can often carry impurities and toxins through your body, which can have an adverse effect on your wellbeing. Reflexology helps in flushing out these toxins by stimulating qi, the flow of energy, in the vital organs involved in detoxification such as; your liver, kidney, colon, lungs and skin.
Improves Nerve Conduction and Blood Circulation Reflexology can stimulate over 7,000 nerves in your feet and encourage the expansion and clearance of neural pathways, which can be a source of great pain. It is also proven to increase overall blood flow, helping the body transport necessary nutrients.
Helps with Pain Relief According to a UK study, reflexology was shown to be effective in the reduction of pain, working similarly to acupuncture by causing the brain to release chemicals that lessen pain signals.
