Some Important Tips For Your First Reflexology Session

Many of us would agree that most illnesses of today are actually caused by our stressed lifestyle and more people are becoming a victim of back pain, headaches, constipation, IBS and insomnia.  To combat with such painful pains there is an amazing solution that can do wonders to your dying body and that is reflexology. However, there are professionals who are offering reflexology sessions in Dubai, but they are mostly hard to access at least for people like me who are always busy with travelling. For busy people, I am sharing some DIY reflexology tips that can ease your pain.

Here are some DIY tips that can help you reap the benefits of reflexology at home.

 

Beat stress:

To release stress and give yourself a healthy dose of energy and to beat stress, focus on applying pressure on areas that are linked to adrenal glands – it will stimulate the glands that help in regulating metabolism, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and motivate sluggish intestines. For better stimulation, massage the middle inner sides of your hands or feet.

 

Mood lifter:

If you are stressed and want a quick mood boost then it is essential to bring the balance of your endocrine system by working on the pituitary gland and hypothalamus reflexes. To stimulate them, all you need to do is, massage on your both thumbs or both toes, paying special attention to the widest part of both toes or thumbs (this area is more sensitive). It is better to move your hands around small areas too to keep the relaxation levels high.

 

Mental clarity:

Reflexology can give you a mental clarity and for this you need to apply pressure on the thyroid gland. For this start applying pressure on your thumb to walk around the base of your big toe or thumb. This area is also used to reduce weight, fluctuating heartbeat, dry skin, cholesterol levels and nervousness. This gland is also associated with ovary health (called a third ovary) that has been known to have a strong impact on women’s health.

 

Reduce tension:

Stress is an ultimate reason of various illnesses and for this you need to massage your reflex point which correlates with your nervous system. Spinal cords are responsible for sending messages back and forth between the brain and the body while the spinal nerves connect to the body’s organs, structure and glands. Abnormal pressure or stress causes pressure on the spinal nerve and affects its performance. To release the tension roll finger over the tips of your big toes and massage the inside of the foot. This will not help release stress on a spine but also relieve headaches, PMS and constipation.

 

Alertness:

Reflexology can help you in attaining your overall health and it will also help in boosting your alertness. People who are suffering from chronic stress can also benefit for reflexology sessions.
