It has been an exhausting week. In fact, the entire month has been exhausting. You go to bed so tired that you should be able to fall asleep immediately. Instead, the stress that builds up during the day keeps you awake until so late you are not getting anywhere near enough rest. It is so tempting to take some kind of sleep aid, but you are trying to avoid this at all costs. Maybe it is time that you looked into reflexology treatments.
Although reflexology is not used to detect or cure health disorders, millions of people around the world use this healing process to complement other treatments when they are dealing with conditions like anxiety or asthma. The application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, hands, or ears has also been successful in helping patients cope with cancer treatment, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and even sinusitis. Many patients also use reflexology as a pain control option. In fact, reflexology aids in pain reduction, according to 27 different studies. Clients who were treated with reflexology methods demonstrated a positive outcome for reduction in pain.
A holistic center that offers reflexology, meditation, yoga and acupuncture can compliment the current medications and treatments that you are undergoing. Whether you are a cancer patient who is enduring lengthy chemo and radiation treatments, or you are a first time mother who is learning the schedule of a mostly sleepless newborn, a holistic center can help you be your best self. Did you know, for example, that over 15 million Americans practice yoga as of the year 2015. Even though yoga originated in India at least 5,000 years ago, it is a practice that people around the world embrace for good health and good breathing and posture techniques. In one research study, small but significant reductions in blood pressure were shown in just three weeks of daily yoga.
Reflexology and other holistic treatments are growing increasingly popular across the continents of both Europe and Asia. Reflexology is considered both a complement to other treatments, as well as a successful preventive health measure. In Denmark, for example, various government agencies and companies have employed reflexologists since the early 1990s.
