WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a particular technique of foot or hand massage where pressure is applied to specific points to help restore health and bring long-term relief of ailments. These points access the same meridians as in acupuncture and acupressure and are very powerful being the first and last three on the energy lines. This helps to explain the effectiveness of the treatment.
It's the fastest growing health procedure in the world (source: World Health Organisation), rapidly gaining popularity as an accepted part of a healthy lifestyle: 30% of GPs now recommend patients and you can get health insurance cover from a variety of companies, such as BUPA
HOW WILL YOU BENEFIT?
Reflexology relieves pain and is excellent for stress conditions. It's a holistic therapy, so that means that it treats your whole body not just your symptoms. There are benefits to be gained for your health, well-being and lifestyle, and for your family too when you start to feel better.
HOW DOES REFLEXOLOGY IMPROVE FERTILITY?
Fertility and the speed of conception depend on many factors, some psychological, some physical and some nutritional. Reflexology works on the first two by inducing a state of profound relaxation thus reducing stress and secondly by balancing the endocrine system to normalise hormone production, so vital for the reproductive process. Nutritional advice for both partners ensures that the critical B vitamins and minerals such as zinc and iron are in adequate supply prior to conception which also helps the pregnancy and post natal period.
All in all this is a very sound 'product', particulary when compared with expensive alternatives, and one to be recommended as a FIRST port of call rather than a last resort.
