Reflexology is a therapy fit for people of any ages

Far Eastern cultures have been using alternative treatments for thousands of years and still do so today.

Even the most technically advanced countries such as China and Japan, appreciate the effectiveness and simplicity of natural medicine. There are many reasons for this. One reason is because natural treatments work.

Another reason is that there are virtually no side effects. Maybe it is time to forget the magical pills and fly by night cure-alls, there are better options out there like reflexology.

As long as you have two hands and two feet, you can self-treat your medical problems, as many have done for centuries before us. Reflexology is safe for everyone and proven effective.

If you are not familiar with reflexology, it is the practice of strategically applying pressure to reflexes of the feet and hands as they correspond with specific body organs. By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, we can stimulate blood flow, reduce stress and eliminate toxin buildup in the corresponding organs and systems of the body.

With this, many forms of sickness and disease can be reversed or at the very least, the symptoms can be effectively treated. Although reflexologists cannot diagnose or claim to cure a sickness or disease, the results speak for themselves, making it one of the most sought after treatments today.

In fact, celebrities pay an arm and a leg for just a few minutes of reflexology. Not only is it beneficial as a tool for relaxation and stress relief, but it is also an effective tool for improving circulation; relieving pain, and as an immune and nervous system stimulator.

In fact, many people with illnesses such as allergies; chronic sinus problems; acid reflux; acne; migraines; PMS; menopause; insomnia; fertility problems and even arthritis have been helped tremendously by reflexology treatments.

Children can benefit from reflexology in many ways as well.

A few of the most common reasons for conventional medical treatment today are ear infections, constipation, colic and bed-wetting. Reflexology has been shown to dramatically improve these problems, and many more in children.

In fact, research has actually shown that children with cerebral palsy who received reflexology work actually had increased growth rate over the kids who did not receive therapy.

And did you know that elderly patients that routinely get reflexology treatment could reduce cholesterol, lower and maintain blood pressure and treat painful digestion better than drugs?
 
Not only that but elderly patients that have reflexology mats in their homes experience less pain and a greater sense of control when walking. Reflexology has made its mark in the world of alternative therapies because it works.
