For the body to be healthy, all the thousands of parts must work together. To keep the body running harmoniously a tune-up is often needed. It induces a state of relaxation in which the parasympathetic system can function optimally.
It counteracts the negative effects of stress responses on the organs and tissues of the body allowing them to recuperate their function. It hjas been estimated that over 70% of illness is related to stress.
Stress and tension tighten up the cardiovascular system and restrict blood flow. By reducing stress and tension, reflexology allows the miles of blood vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.
The body has systems for cleansing itself via lymph glands, kidneys, colon and the skin. If these become sluggish or blocked, toxins and waste matter build up. By deepening relaxation, the systems of the body function more efficiently, eliminating more waste.
This can be invigorating or calm and restful either way, it flows. It circulates throughout the body on a physical, emotional, mental level. Energy needs to be revitalised periodically. By relaxing and opening up energy pathways, reflexology revitalises the body and supplies it with energy on all levels.
The dangers to our health include stress, fatigue, chemical additives in our food, polluted water suppliers and polluted air. All of these put a strain on our immune system. Only when the body is well balanced is a person in good shape to ward off illness. Reflexology enables us to unwind and relax boosting our immune system.
