How can reflexology help?

​

Reflexology works by regulating the hormones and glandular functions of the body. 

​

By working with the hypothalamus and pituitary, reflexology can help restore balance to the endocrine system, this in turn can help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes as well as anxiety.

​

As the nervous systems calms, the stress hormones regulate and by calming the central nervous system, sleep disturbances can also be alleviated and anxiety levels reduced.

​

Reflexology also helps the ovaries to regulate their oestrogen secretions and the uterus to maintain its natural health and flexibility.
