Did you know that you have a spot on both of your hands which has been rubbed for thousands for years – bringing notable relief to headaches!? According Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this spot corresponds to the adrenal glands; clearing blockages from the adrenal glands’ energy circuit will likely bring new life force and vitality!

Maybe the biggist mystery is that various alternative therapies – like for example:

• PALM THERAPY;
• HAND REFLEXOLOGY;
• ACUPRESSURE;

… provide different theories for the biggest unanswered question: ‘why does the ultimate ‘handshaking-yourself’ work?’

Olivia Rosewood explains the basics of this awesome example of self-therapy:

“To give yourself a break from a headache or even just a bit more zip in your doo-da, find the most tender spot between your thumb and forefinger. Use your other thumb and forefinger to pinch this spot from the top and palm of your hand, the way you might pinch a penny should there be a world-wide financial crisis. Take a few deep breaths, and release this spot when you have an indication that you have unblocked this energy point: usually your pain subsides.”

A pioneer reflexology study.

A Kunz & Kunz reflexology study

Recently reflexology pioneers Barbara & Kevin Kunz have presented a year-long study which indicates that reflexology is 93% effective in its application to 78 physical and mental conditions.

A survey report of 168 studies from twenty-three countries.

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 – Reflexology is 93% effective in its application to 78 physical and mental conditions. The analysis is the focus of the newly released Evidence-Based Reflexology Series by Barbara Kunz and Kevin Kunz. The key to success with reflexology, as documented by Kunz and Kunz, is the frequency and duration with which it is applied. Evidence-Based Reflexology presents both results and how much technique application has been found to positively impact physical and mental conditions. This breakthrough study by Barbara Kunz and Kevin Kunz documents research-based evidence sufficient to state that: Reflexology can be an effective complement in the treatment of certain conditions. Though sceptics might point to the fact the Kunz study does not present any scientific details and can be viewed as an advertisment for their selfmade reflexology, the study does report research results on e.g.: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), pain reduction, mental illness, & cancer patients.

Is reflexology safe in pregnancy?

Is reflexology safe? Also in pregnancy?

In pregnancy you want to make sure that everything you do is safe for you and your baby. Some reflexologists prefer not to treat a pregnant woman, but others say it is no big deal at all. Therefore it might be interesting for you to take notice of the opinions of some experts in the related fields:

Freelance writer (and mother of three young children) Hannah Hulme Hunter – who worked as a midwife in London and Ghana (with VSO) says about reflexology in pregnancy: “Reflexology is generally considered safe in pregnancy, provided all is well with your pregnancy and your reflexologist knows that you’re pregnant.”

Midwife Hannah Hulme Hunter.

Barbara and Kevin Kunz.

Reflexology authors Barbara and Kevin Kunz write in their book ‘Complete reflexology for life‘: “A miscarriage is a reaction of the body, NOT a reaction to reflexology. Under no circumstances has reflexology ever been shown to have caused the body to do something it didn’t want to do.”

The Association of Reflexologists (AOR) says that the major reason that some reflexologists refuse to treat a pregnant woman during the first trimester, is due to a misplaced patient fear that reflexology may cause a miscarriage: “”There is no evidence to even suggest that this may be the case,” the AOR says. “However, as miscarriages are more common in the first term of pregnancy, some reflexologists are not prepared to take the risk that the client may blame them should a miscarriage occur.”

Women in Gloucestershire use reflexology & complementary therapies during childbirth.

Reflexology and pregnancy

Reflexology & Pregnancy

Pregnant women in Gloucestershire is offered a scala of complementary therapies, including reflexology and massage during childbirth. About 26 per cent of the 6,000 mums at the Cheltenham General Hospital and the Gloucestershire Royal hospital are now opting this fabulous opportunity.

Midwife Asha Dhany, who is a trained reflexologist + massage therapist, has led the initiative. She describes:

“Feedback has been positive and it’s working very well. Some women say it’s just like going to a spa rather than being in a clinical environment.”

SOME COMMENTS FROM THE YOUNG MOTHERS Alexandra O’Connell, from Prestbury, benefited from the massage therapies as she gave birth to her daughter Daisy-Ann. She said: “I used essential oils to help ease the pain of the contractions and to help the whole process along. It was nice to be able to do something for myself and the whole experience was very pleasant.” Vicki Little, another young mum, said: “It’s great that women have so many options these days. Any therapy that can help has to be welcomed.” MORE ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY DURING PRENANCY: From the early stages to delivery, pregnancy can be physically and emotionally demanding. Regular gentle reflexology treatments can help with some of the conditions associated with pregnancy, such as morning sickness, nausea, headaches, water retention, constipation, stress, anxiety, sleeping problems. Reflexology can also play an important role during the last phase of pregnancy, particularly to encourage labour especially if overdue.
