Let’s talk about detoxing, Reflexology, and how the two go hand in hand.
When we think of detoxing, there are a few variations that we can delve into. We can look at more extensive systematic detoxes for acute issues, such as sudden allergen exposure, more chronic and ongoing problems like substance abuse, or generalized detoxing of waste and toxins for the overall wellness of your body.
Reflexology is a detoxing “secret” that has been successfully used to facilitate detoxing for all of the above.
How does it do it? To put it simply, Reflexology helps your body naturally eliminate and push out toxins while regulating itself into proper functioning. Reflexology aids in the detoxification process in three major ways: 1) Facilitates, 2) Supports, and 3) Regulates.
It facilitates detoxing on a cellular level by delivering proper oxygenation to your cells. It helps eliminate waste on a larger scale by aiding movement in your bowels and colon. Utilizing lymphatic drainage, it can also effectively drain stagnant lymph and promote the circulation of blood to begin a widespread detox of your system.
It supports your liver, gallbladder, pancreas, heart - you name it! It helps proper kidney function, meaning the toxins your body is moving through it have an exit during urination. Reflexology utilizes its maps, energy meridians, and Qi balancing to achieve this.
It regulates all of you! By this, we mean that everything in your body is both acknowledged and addressed. This regulates the way in which each part of you communicates with the others, reopening clear channels of information and communication for optimal healthy functioning of all your organs, systems, and structures.
Detoxing is a natural effect of Reflexology, and Reflexology can significantly aid in intentional detoxing when you need it. Most importantly, reflexology does all of this gently by working with your body. This is fantastic because it means that toxicity is appropriately addressed without sending your body into chaos.
If you are looking for a natural and supportive way to detox, Reflexology may be just the thing.
