Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you.

When you visit the doctor, they will typically address your symptoms, largely ignoring lifestyle changes that could help.

Consider addressing your diet and lifestyle habits and seeking out natural remedies designed to treat the root cause.

If you are a woman struggling with hormones, here is how Reflexology helps:

📚 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.

Its very true that People are turning to therapies like Reflexology more and more to help with their health issues. Thanks Karens reflexology for highlighting.

We live in a time when self-healing and self responsibility for health is becoming more and more normal, attractive and popular.💙

Embracing natural therapies that support this does not mean rejecting orthodox medicine. In fact it means turning to the orthodox for the diagnosis, and having a wide range of choices to assist you in the healing process ... orthodox and natural!

It is now more normal and mainstream to use therapies that aren't usually part of orthodox medical care, alongside it.

Complimentary Therapies like Reflexology.👣❤️

Facial Reflexology, a gentle technique, supports body and mind.

It offers a moment of pure calmness, a chance for the nervous system to exhale.

By gently working on precise reflex zones and neurological points on the face, we influence the body and mind:
☯️ balancing body systems
☯️ easing stress
☯️ supporting the brain
☯️ balancing hormones
☯️ lifting the complexion naturally.

All body systems are reflected on the face, working on the face supports your whole being, physically and mentally.

Clients often say it feels like their whole body is smiling from the inside. The skin glows, the mind softens, and the body begins to remember what peace feels like.

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.

Your body is your most valuable possession, and it’s worth taking care of. Think of your body as your luxury car—it’s your vehicle through life, and how you fuel and maintain it will determine how far it takes you. Most people neglect their health in their younger years, only to pay for it later with medical bills and physical issues.

By focusing on nutrition, exercise, and self-care, you can avoid the costly repairs that come from neglect. Healthy habits, such as eating well, staying active, and managing stress, will keep your body running smoothly and help you live longer.

Treat your body with the respect it deserves, and it will serve you for years to come. 🚗💪

When the nervous system is in “fight or flight,” the body prioritises survival, not repair.

Only in a calmer and regulated state can it focus on restoring balance and function.

Bowen Therapy may encourage this shift from stress to rest.
