🌸 Reflexology: A Path to a Calmer Nervous System 🌸

When life feels overwhelming, your nervous system takes the hit.

Reflexology gently soothes the body by helping to activate the parasympathetic (“rest & digest”) system, thereby:

🌿Reducing the feeling of stress
🌿Promoting relaxation
🌿Encourage a feeling of calm
& balance

💡 Why Being Calm Matters:

🌿Better sleep & improved mood
🌿Stronger immune function
🌿Balanced energy levels
🌿Clearer focus
🌿Emotional stability

Take time for yourself. A calmer nervous system means a healthier, happier you. 💆‍♀️✨

🌿 Reflexology & The Parasympathetic Nervous System 🌿

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) manages involuntary functions such as
💓 Heart rate
💨 Blood pressure
🥗 Digestion

Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment.
Relaxation activates the PNS
shifting the body from fight or flight ⚡️to rest and digest💆‍♀️

When this happens, your body naturally:
🫀 Slows the heart rate
🌀 Improves digestion
💧 Reduces blood pressure

✨ Benefits of activating the PNS include:
🌸 Stress reduction
💫 Improved circulation
🥦 Better digestion
🧘‍♀️ Lower stress hormones
🌿 A deep sense of overall
well-being

Give your body the reset it deserves with Reflexology 💚

Our hormones influence everything. Our mood, energy, and sleep, metabolism, fertility, and emotional resilience. When they’re out of balance, we can feel it in every part of our lives.

Reflexology offers a gentle, holistic approach to supporting the endocrine system - the network of glands that produce and regulate our hormones (including the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, and ovaries/testes).

When we’re under chronic stress, our bodies release high levels of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Over time, this can throw other hormones off balance - affecting menstrual cycles, thyroid activity, weight regulation, and even immune function.

By calming the nervous system and promoting deep relaxation, reflexology helps lower stress hormones and encourages the body to return to homeostasis - its natural state of balance.

🧠 How it works:

Reflex points corresponding to endocrine glands are stimulated, helping to improve communication between these systems via neural and circulatory pathways.

Activating the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response reduces cortisol and adrenaline levels.

With less stress load, the body can better regulate hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, insulin, and melatonin.

📚 What the research shows:

A 2019 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research found that women who received reflexology during their menstrual cycle experienced reduced PMS symptoms, less pain, and improved mood.

In Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice (2017), researchers reported that reflexology helped reduce anxiety and fatigue in menopausal women, suggesting a beneficial effect on stress-related hormonal imbalance.

Other studies note reflexology’s potential to lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and enhance overall wellbeing - all indicators of a more regulated endocrine system.

✨ The bigger picture:
While reflexology doesn’t replace medical care or claim to “fix” hormonal disorders, it can be a valuable complementary approach to help the body find its rhythm again.
For many, it offers a sense of calm, better sleep, and renewed emotional balance - the foundation for healthier hormone function.

What can reflexology do for you?

Reflexology helps to relieve tension and encourages deep relaxation.

When your body is relaxed the Nervous System calms shifting the body from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest"

A calm Central Nervous System encourages the release of
feel-good hormones such as:
Serotonin - the mood stabilising hormone
Dopamine - the brains “reward” chemical
Oxytocin - the love hormone" responsible for positive emotions
Endorphins - natural pain relievers

All leading to a feeling of improved mood.

A 2016 study concluded that regular reflexology had positive effects on the quality of life in women experiencing menopausal symptoms.👇

🦶 How Does Reflexology Work?

Reflexology is a complementary holistic therapy that can be carried out on the feet or hands. 💆‍♀️✨

👣 Gentle pressure is applied to specific reflex points — these points are mapped to different organs, glands, and body systems.

A reflexologist works these points to help:
💫 Restore the body’s natural balance (homeostasis)
🧠 Stimulate the central nervous system (your body’s information highway)
🌸 Support the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest and digest)

Reflexology triggers a calming response which
• Promotes deep relaxation😌
• Eases tension 💆‍♀️
• Improves circulation ❤️
• Enhance sleep 💤
• Supports well-being🌈

Each foot contains around 7,000 nerve endings, all connecting to the brain and nervous system. When stimulated, they send signals throughout the body. 🌿

Think of your feet as a doorway — and reflexology as the key that helps unlock your body’s natural healing response. 🔑
