Physiological
benefits of reflexology
Reflexology
improves blood circulation which helps to relax the muscles.
Increased circulation will get more oxygen to the brain. This
will help
relieve nervous tension, easing headaches and preventing them.
Also, relaxing the muscles will help ease aches and pains. Pain
relief is common during
and after a treatment because the body is stimulated to release
endorphines, the body's natural pain killer, into the bloodstream.
The improved
circulation gets the endorphines to all parts of the body.
Reflexology
detoxifies. A reflexology treatment will activate organs such
as the liver, kidneys lymphatic system. The liver and kidneys
will filter impurities
from the blood while the lymphatic system will filter out germs
and other bugs. Often, clients report more frequent passing
of urine
after the treatment and some clients report sweating during
the treatment. This is the body getting rid of the toxins.
Reflexology
improves digestion. There is a whole area on the foot which
contains the digestion reflexes. Reflexology stimulates the
stomach and intestines.
Often, clients are slightly embarrassed by the sound of 'gurlging'
coming from their abdomen during a treatment. This is perfectly
normal and
provides proof of a stimulated digestive system.
Reflexology
makes you sleepy!! Often, clients go to sleep during the treatment.
Furthermore, many report a number of better than usual nights
sleep following
a treatment.
