Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Reflexology is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Improved digestion
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue and pain.
This is why clients usually fall asleep during the session. The nervous system relaxes, the protocol resets it. In one hour, you get the benefit of a long and resting night of sleep, or even the benefit of some vacation time. The topical use of essential oils blends helps work deeper and more precisely on a system or organs, especially in case of stress, shock and grief.
Reflexology can also help specifically address a number of health issues. It can:
