Reflexology can help by reducing stress hormones and calming the nervous system. Blood circulation is improved, blood pressure falls, heart rate reduces and the release of endorphins can be increased, these are the body’s natural feel good hormones.
Reflexology helps to balance the release of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland which regulates sleep and wakefulness.
Reflexology helps lymphatic fluid flow & circulate around the body, flushing out toxins that could otherwise cause illness & disease. Keeping the lymphatic system flowing & circulating helps to boost the immune system into activating natural antibodies to fight off bacteria & viruses.
Reflexology can improve blood circulation in the feet and throughout the body. This will nourish body tissues and organs as blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to them.
