Reflexology can improve circulation, carrying oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and carrying wastes away. Improved circulation can result in decreased muscle tension and soreness, and reduced swelling from injuries or illness. Immune function, skin tone and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
Reflexology is used as complementary care for people with a variety of conditions. It can help alleviate headaches, reduce arthritic and back pain, give support during addiction withdrawal, ease premenstrual discomforts, and reduce the symptoms of diabetes.
