22nd – 29th of September is Reflexology week, here registered homeopath and reflexologist Rebecca Hill, gives you 10 ways it can aid your wellbeing…
1. Relaxation – Reflexology is a deeply relaxing therapy and some people
like to have the treatment purely for its relaxation benefits.
2. Improve general wellbeing – Reflexology is an holistic therapy and so
works to balance the whole of the body and help it work as
effectively as possible, which in turn can help prevent dis-ease.
3. Stress relief – Reflexology can help you feel more balanced and allow
you to let go and relax for an hour, which can only have a positive
impact in terms of reducing your stress levels.
4. Reduce tension – it is amazing how much tension we carry in our body,
even in the feet! Reflexology is an excellent way of relieving
tension in the whole body.
5. Improve circulation – Reflexology helps to improve circulation
throughout the body, and especially in the feet and legs.
6.Detox the body – Reflexology helps the body to gently detoxify, which
is why it is important to drink lots of water after a treatment in
order to flush the toxins out of your system.
7. Strengthen the immune system – Reflexology boosts the immune system
by kick-starting the body’s own self healing techniques in order for
it to be as balanced as possible.
8.Improve sleep – the very fact that a Reflexology treatment is so
relaxing means that you will probably find you sleep better. Most of
my clients report having an amazing night’s sleep after a Reflexology
treatment.
9. Calm the mind – even though Reflexology is a physical therapy, it can
also work on a mental/ emotional level. By allowing yourself an
hour-long Reflexology treatment to relax and unwind, your mind is
also able to calm and slow down.
10. Increase energy – many people report feeling generally sluggish which
can be a sign your body isn’t working as efficiently as it could. The
balancing effect of Reflexology means that you can feel re-energised
and re-vitalised.
