As the weather shifts and the air gets cooler, our immune system works harder to protect us from seasonal colds, flus, and fatigue. One gentle way to support the body during this transition is through targeted reflexology.
For immune support during autumn, key reflex areas often focused on by reflexologists include:
💨 Lungs & Bronchial Reflexes – supporting respiratory health as seasonal viruses increase.
🧠 Solar Plexus & Diaphragm Reflexes – calming the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in immune regulation.
💧 Lymphatic System Reflexes – encouraging lymph flow to help clear waste and support immune response.
🦠 Spleen & Thymus Reflexes – both of which are integral to immune cell production and defense.
🧂 Adrenal Reflexes – supporting the stress response. Lower stress can mean stronger immunity.
✨ Why this matters:
Chronic stress can suppress immune function. Reflexology has been shown in some studies to reduce perceived stress and promote relaxation.
Gentle stimulation of reflex points may support circulation and lymphatic drainage, which are essential for immune system function.
Reflexology sessions are often experienced as deeply calming, and rest is one of the best immune boosters we have.
🦶 Practical tip: Even a short, self-applied routine focusing on the solar plexus point (found in the center of the foot beneath the ball) can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system and create a moment of calm in your day.
Want to strengthen your seasonal wellness routine? A reflexology session can support your body’s natural defenses and help you feel more balanced this autumn. 🍂✨
