General Benefits of Reflexology

Relieves Stress, Tension, and Anxiety

Stress, tension, and anxiety are caused by a change in the body in the physical makeup where the muscles are constricting and restricting the blood flow, chemicals, or neurotransmitters. Certain chemicals (hormones), or lack of them, cause depression, anxiety, and further stress. Reflexology activates sensory receptors and stimulates the nervous system. Stimulating the nervous system will release neurochemicals such as endorphins or enkephalins, which are natural painkillers in our system. By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, relaxation is promoted, which can help with all of the following:

• Reduced Insomnia
• Decreased Stress Hormones
• Reduce Risk of Depression

Increases Circulation

Through relaxation, the muscles relax and release the constricted blood vessels. The increased circulation causes the following positive reactions:

• Congestion is reduced and flushed of build up
• Muscle tightness and stiffness is relieved
• Veins dilate and improve blood flow

Enhances the Body's Natural Healing Process

Relaxation and increased flow of circulation cause the body to begin the healing process from within. The increased blood flow will increase the oxygen and nutrients which will make a person feel more like being active. More activity increases blood flow and the cycle continues. Increased lymph flow also helps to decrease waste in the body.
