By Donna Bell


To every problem, there lies a solution, and to every ailment, there is a remedy or an alternative remedy. Dating back to thousands of years in ancient China and India, Reflexology was considered among the best healing practices. It involves massaging the feet, while at the same time applying pressure at given points to stimulate different organs of the body. Below are the benefits of visiting a reflexologist Edmonton.

One is energized both physically and mentally by the constant practice of reflexology, under the watchful eye of an expert. You will find that you approach every situation and activity in your life with high spirits and enthusiasm. What reflexology does is to set your body organs parallel to their equivalent functions, raising your digestion levels. Better digestion means better health.

Of all the benefits reflexology has to offer, improving blood circulation might as well be top of the list. What this means is that oxygen-rich blood is carried through your body more efficiently. When your vital body organs are adequately supplied with oxygen, they operate much better as well as intensifying your metabolic rate. Weakened cells patch up quicker as well.

A good foot rub by a professional is known to be soothing, especially after a long day at work. The art of reflexology relaxes your mind by opening neural pathways, resulting in reduced stress levels and a calm body and mind. When one achieves a piece of mind, their blood pressure is also lowered. This translates to better sleep at night to those who suffer acute sleeplessness.

Before being used as an alternative treatment for various sicknesses, reflexology was popularly used as a pain reliever or rather a general aesthetic. When experiencing any kind of physical discomfort within our bodies, it means that certain muscles are strained, and require immediate attention. This can easily be resolved by massaging to experience reprieve.

It is essential that we take time off our busy schedules and cleanse our whole body. We may not know it, but we are exposed to a lot of pollutants in our ordinary life. Ranging from the foods and beverages we consume to the conditions of our workplaces. Kneading of the feet results in a better functioning bladder, and this, in turn, equates to efficient toxin removal.

To the senior citizens, a visit to the reflexologists office will mean an increased function in the nervous system, more specifically in the lower body. As we grow older, our bodies no longer run as they used to in our younger days. Our nerves grow less sensitive, meaning our brains cannot process huge chunks of information. Reflexology reactivates these numb nerves, increasing the activity in the brain, and helping in better memory retention.

When a cancer patient is undergoing treatment, the side effects that come with the chemotherapy are some of the hardships they have to suffer. But reflexology, if practiced with patience, is likely to curb most of the side effects, and have the patient sleeping peacefully in no time.
