Reflexology works on many different
levels.
It is a useful therapy to alleviate illness and disease. Receiving
treatment can help with many different illnesses, from simply drawing out
a cold to conditions such as multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure,
digestive problems, headaches and pain.
It can help promote healing of emotional issues and traumas. The time
which is spent on the therapy gives you a fresh opportunity to look at the
issues which are a cause for stress and unease, and deal with them in your
own way with encouragement from your therapist. Many studies are showing
the link between illness and stress, whether the stress be emotional in
origin or as a result of pressures of your environment. Reflexology can
help clear the clutter in your head and help you regain your focus.
Stress is an unfortunate factor of everyday life, we face it constantly in
several environments. Reflexology, in my experience, helps calm the mind
and body, freeing it from stress and worry. It can also help you put a
fresh perspective on stress, keeping that which is healthy, clearing that
which is harmful.
Reflexology has been found to be of benefit to those in the workplace.
Receiving a regular treatment has been shown to reduce stress and fight
illness. Companies who have adopted this therapy have found that the
number of sick days have been reduced, with employee health and well-being
also improving.
Reflexology's main benefits include promoting the removal and elimination
of toxins from the body, often causing side effects as the toxins move
out; rebalancing the energy meridians present within the body; relaxing
both mind and body, easing stress levels and creating a more healthy
awareness of self and promoting overall well-being.
