Reflexology

13 February 2007

For instant energy and relaxation, I love reflexology treatments. Reflex points are like acupuncture points without the needles - each one represents an area of the body and as it is pressed or squeezed or massaged, energy surges along the meridian to where it is needed most. The treatment is a wonderful bowel tonic. Pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands and pancreas can be balanced, energised and strengthened. Ovaries are activated. Brains are stimulated. Hearts are toned. Your immune system is supported and your liver is encouraged to chuck out rubbish. It's a post-op healer. It frees the body from pain. It's gloriously relaxing when done by the right hands. It feels self-indulgent - but it's a medicine!
