I often recommend clients to contact Karen at Rainbow Therapies for help with shifting things when they are emotionally stuck or need emotional support. As a long time friend, and Guinea pig for Karen’s remedies, I can highly recommend her essences. All of her essences work alongside all of the treatments I offer and I often introduce people to them during their sessions with me as I have quite a stash of them now! Karen works to offer you a totally tailored combination of essences that work to get to the nitty gritty of your issues. Why not give her a call, or ask me about them when you next come to see me.

Flower Essences were brought to the attention of healers by the work of Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936). Dr. Bach developed the Bach Flower Essences by recognising the link between stress, emotions and illness. Since his death many other ranges of essences have emerged from all over the world. Some esse...

REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE

💆‍♀️ Reflexology & Lymph Drainage: Why It’s So Powerful!

Did you know your feet can help your lymphatic system flow better? 👣 Reflexology is more than just a relaxing foot massage — it’s a science-based therapy that supports your body’s natural detox and drainage pathways.

🌿 What Is Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD)?

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a specialized reflexology technique that focuses on the lymphatic reflex points on your feet. These points correspond to the same lymph pathways stimulated during Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

Through gentle pressure and rhythmic movements, RLD helps:
✨ Move stagnant lymph fluid
✨ Reduce swelling and puffiness
✨ Support detox and immune function
✨ Calm inflammation and tension
✨ Promote deep relaxation

🧠 How It Works — Organ by Organ

Each reflex area on your feet connects to a specific organ or system. Stimulating these zones helps boost function, detoxification, and balance across the body.

🌿 The liver helps filter toxins from the blood. Reflexology supports enzyme function and reduces congestion, easing the load on your lymphatic system.

💧 The kidneys regulate fluid balance. Reflexology enhances filtration, aiding lymph drainage and detox.

🌿 The spleen acts as both a blood filter and immune organ. Stimulating its reflex can boost lymphocyte activity and immune balance.

💨 The lungs are linked to upper lymph flow and sinus drainage. Reflexology can help relieve congestion and improve oxygen exchange.

🌿 The intestines (colon) contain large amounts of gut-associated lymph tissue (GALT). Reflexology encourages digestive movement and toxin elimination.

✨ The skin is your largest detox organ. Reflexology improves circulation and cellular waste removal, giving the skin a healthier glow.

💚 The lymph nodes (reflex zones) respond to gentle stimulation by opening lymphatic channels, reducing swelling, and supporting immune communication.

📚 What Does Research Say?

🩵 Study on breast-cancer-related lymphedema: Reflexology lymph drainage significantly reduced arm swelling and improved comfort.

💬 Patient experience study: Participants reported less pain, better mobility, and emotional well-being.
www.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30057039

💧 General reflexology research: Studies show improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and calmer stress responses — all essential for healthy lymph flow.

🦋 The Science Behind the Flow

Reflexology is effective because it:
1️⃣ Stimulates lymphatic reflex points to encourage natural lymph movement.
2️⃣ Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body into rest-and-repair mode.
3️⃣ Improves microcirculation, helping tissues release toxins and absorb nutrients.
4️⃣ Supports detox organs like the liver, kidneys, and intestines.
5️⃣ Balances fluid movement, reducing swelling and heaviness.

🎉 Fun Facts!

💧 The lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump — it depends on movement, breathing, and gentle stimulation to flow!
👣 Your feet have over 7,000 nerve endings that connect to every organ and gland through neural pathways.
🧘‍♀️ Reflexology can lower stress hormones, reduce tension, and balance blood pressure.
🏆 RLD has been recognized in cancer-care settings for its gentle support in managing lymphedema.

⚕️ Safe Use & Best Practices

✔️ Always see a qualified reflexologist trained in RLD.
✔️ Combine with manual lymph drainage, hydration, gentle movement, and a clean diet.
✔️ Avoid during active infection, thrombosis, or uncontrolled heart or kidney issues. Always check with your healthcare provider first.

💚 In Summary

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a beautiful, natural way to support your body’s self-healing process. It helps your lymphatic system do what it’s designed to do — detox, decongest, and renew.

🌿 Stimulates detox organs
💧 Improves circulation and drainage
🧘‍♀️ Reduces stress and inflammation
💪 Strengthens immunity and vitality

Your lymphatic system is your body’s silent cleaner — and reflexology gives it a loving nudge to flow freely again. 💚

FINDING RELAXATION IN A BUSY WORLD 🌻🌻🌻

One of the most difficult things seems to be trying not to get emotionally bothered by other people’s actions or words. It is increasingly difficult in these times of social media when even the most innocuous post can sometimes attract a flurry of negative responses.

Finding time to relax in nature - by the sea, in a forest or wood, or simply looking up at the sky when on a walk can really help to calm you. So can going for a session of Reflexology or Energy Balance Healing with me.

If you find it hard to calm yourself, book in for a session and I will also give you some tips and techniques for you to do at home between treatments. Sounds good? Then do get in touch. 07792 742283, lizf@mirasol.co.uk.

Only a few appointments left before Christmas but my 2026 diary is now open for bookings too.
Hope to hear from you very soon. Christmas vouchers are now available for treating your loved ones.

Great explanation… 👣👣🌻🌻

It’s not unusual to feel sleepy, heavy, or even emotionally drained after a reflexology session, and it’s actually a good sign that your body is responding.

Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” branch responsible for slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and triggering recovery processes. When the body shifts out of a chronic stress state (sympathetic dominance), it finally has permission to relax, repair, and rebalance.

That deep relaxation can sometimes feel like fatigue, especially if your system has been running on adrenaline or stress hormones for a long time. The tiredness isn’t a side effect. It’s a signal that your body is resetting its internal balance.

📚 Research supports this response:

Studies, including McVicar et al. (Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2007), show measurable reductions in heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety levels following reflexology - clear indicators of parasympathetic activation.

A 2011 pilot study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that reflexology sessions produced significant decreases in salivary cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), reinforcing the link between reflexology and stress reduction.

Improvements in sleep quality and relaxation have been documented across multiple clinical settings, from cancer care to maternity wards, all pointing to the same physiological mechanism of rest and regulation.

💧 How to support your body afterward:

Drink water to help the body process metabolic by-products released during deep relaxation.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol immediately after your session to prolong the calm.

Rest if you can, even a short nap or quiet time helps integrate the benefits.

Feeling tired after reflexology is simply your body exhaling and catching up on the rest it’s been asking for. 😴
