💥 Headaches: the body’s very own smoke alarm. Except instead of smoke, it’s your stressed-out nervous system, cranky stomach, tight muscles, or hormone rollercoaster setting it off. 🙃
👉 Did you know different body systems can pull the “headache trigger”?
Digestive system: Ever had a “food baby” that turned into a “skull-crusher”?
Yep, sluggish digestion can push toxins up and your head pays the price.
🥒 Old-school fix: peppermint tea, ginger, or just lying very still and regretting that extra plate of perogies.
👣 Reflexology fix: working digestive reflexes helps your gut chill out so your head can too.
Muscular system: Shoulders tighter than your jeans after Thanksgiving dinner?
Tension creeps up your neck like a bad sequel and lands right between your temples.
💪 Old-school fix: grandma’s mustard plaster, hot cloths, or a neck rub from whoever owed you a favour.
👣 Reflexology fix: releasing tension points in the feet signals muscles to let gooo (cue Elsa voice 🎶).
Nervous system: Stress turns your brain into a 24/7 hamster wheel. Cue pounding headache.
🧘 Old-school fix: lavender sachets, chamomile tea, or a stiff shot of whiskey (depending on which grandma you asked).
👣 Reflexology fix: calming the nervous system reflexes helps flip your switch from “fight-or-flight” to “Netflix-and-relax.”
Hormonal system: PMS, menopause, thyroid… basically your body’s way of saying, “Surprise! We’re changing the rules again!” 🎢
🌸 Old-school fix: raspberry leaf tea, rest, or yelling at anyone who dared breathe too loudly.
👣 Reflexology fix: balancing endocrine reflexes to steady those hormone swings.
✨ Bottom line: Your headache isn’t random, it’s a clue.
Your body’s whispering (okay, sometimes screaming), “Hey! Something’s off!”
Reflexology listens, decodes, and helps reset so you’re not reaching for the mystery bottle of painkillers in your junk drawer.
So next time your head’s pounding, ask: “Who invited you? My gut, my hormones, my stress, or my shoulders?”
Reflexology might just send them packing. 👣💆
