I did a talk recently, for the Mother's Union...
The main question was 'What is Reflexology good for?' A good question, and to know the answer to this, one needs to know how it works...
Pressure is applied in a very gentle technique using the thumb, to reflexes (or nerve endings) found in the feet or hands. When the pressure technique is applied, it allows this flow of energy to pass through the body, freeing any blockages that may have occured due to illness or injury, and hence recreating energy balance. It is thus effective in detoxifying, as well as, amongst many things, boosting the immune system. In this way, the treatment works systemically, that is on all the body's systems, thus treating them all as a unit. Many conditions and ailments can therefore be treated through Reflexology.
A small example of conditions that Reflexology can treat, include:
Headaches / Migraines Eczema Constipation / Intestinal problems such as Diverticulitis Allergies
Pregnancy related Issues Sciatica Back pain Stress Insomia Growing Pains Asthma
Hormonal Imbalances Thyroid problems Circulatory problems Menstrual issues & much more....!
