Reflexology
Reflexology can help with both the physical and emotional effects of perimenopause and menopause to balance the mind and body.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is an alternative holistic therapy that dates back to the Ancient Chinese.
The treatment involves pressure points and massage techniques on various reflex points on the body, usually the feet. The feet have thousands of nerve endings that branch up and communicate with the rest of the body and brain.
When applying pressure to certain areas of the foot, it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels and helps restore the balance of the body.
What are the benefits of Reflexology?
Reflexology can help to promote relaxation, lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, balance mind and body, and help with general wellbeing. It also has a natural detox effect as it stimulates the lymphatic and immune systems, which helps remove waste from the body.
Who is Reflexology suitable for
Reflexology is suitable for most people and is used on its own or alongside medical treatments as a holistic approach to treatment. It is also a lovely treatment to help during pregnancy, menopause, and times of stress. It is a very relaxing treatment.
Reflexology for perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Reflexology can help with both the physical and emotional effects of perimenopause and menopause to balance the mind and body.
It works very well alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy or on its own to help with both the physical and emotional effects of perimenopause and menopause.
Working the hypothalamus, pituitary, and thyroid zones on the feet makes it possible to help restore balance to the hormonal system. These are part of the endocrine system (which regulates everything within the body by releasing different hormones), and focusing on them can help alleviate some of the symptoms, such as:
- sleep problems
- irritability
- headaches
- low libido
- joint pain
- heart palpitations
- depression
- mood swings
- stress
- brain fog
Reflexology for depression & anxiety
Reflexology can help overall wellbeing by providing deep relaxation, and the power of touch can help with feelings of anxiety and low mood.
Can men benefit from Reflexology?
Areas of the feet correspond to the prostate and testes, and using pressure points on the feet to concentrate on these areas can help stimulate and balance hormones.
