Reflexology is a technique that has been used for hundreds of years as a natural way of healing and relaxation. They say that parts of the body are connected to specific nerves and reflexes in the feet and hands. By massaging these precise areas of the feet or hands, you can stimulate other parts of the body, boost the immune system, increase blood flow, and assist in stress reduction. Usually this practice involves just the feet, but the hands could be massaged as well.
This type of therapy can be useful for a wide variety of illnesses. Reflexology is good therapy to use when you want to encourage the body to heal itself with out medications. Provoking the immune system helps to ward off diseases. The increase of circulation to the tendon and muscles deepens your relaxation, and lowering your stress level promotes over all well being.
You can either go to a Reflexologist to have your feet worked on, or you can do it yourself. If you suffer from stomach or bowel problems like constipation, you would look up the stomach or intestines. Find a Reflexology Chart, it will map out the area you need to massage and the manner in which you should do it.
Here are some others you may want to try it on:
- Hyper or Hypo Thyroid
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Back Problems
- Sinuses
- Bladder
- Kidney
- Digestive Issues
- Liver Function
- Minor to Moderate Pain Control
Spiritual Suggestion:
My daughter was hospitalized with severe asthma for six days. They were trying everything to get her breathing under control. Four days into her visit, I remembered reading something on reflexology and how it helped aide in healing. I found myself a Foot Reflexology Chart and went to work on her. I was massaging that kid’s feet all night. By the morning, her oxygen level had gone up to a satisfactory level, and they started to wean her off of the oxygen. I truly believe massaging her small feet helped her body to be responsive. Now, every time she is sick, she wants me to massage her feet. I think she likes it!
Next time your feeling a little under the weather, try some reflexology.
