Using Reflexology for Fibromyalgia PatientsBenefits of Using Reflexology for Fibromyalgia Applying the techniques of reflexology for fibromyalgia treatment has given promising results by relieving symptoms of the syndrome including muscle pain, fatigue, sleeplessness, depression, mental stress, and tenderness of joints and their surrounding areas. A major advantage of using reflexology for fibromyalgia treatment is the absence of any side effects as against drug therapy, which is associated with many side effects. How Reflexology Works for Fibromyalgia In reflexology, the therapist applies pressure to specific areas of feet and hand. This stimulates the flow of blood and serves to remove toxic substances from organs to which these specific areas correspond. As a result, the immune system of the patient receives support and the patient's natural capability to cope with pain and stress is increased. Detoxification in Reflexology for Fibromyalgia Detoxification, i.e. removing toxic substances from the body through improved blood circulation, is central to the techniques of reflexology. Special herbal foot detox patches have been made for this purpose by using natural oils and extracts from herbs and trees. These foot patches have no side effects and they are effective in relieving tenderness, pain, and stress associated with fibromyalgia. These herbal foot detox patches are quite easy to use; the patient needs to apply these to his/her feet before going to bed at night. They work by removing toxic substances from several organs simultaneously. Applying Reflexology for Fibromyalgia Reflexology for fibromyalgia can be used as the main therapeutic technique as an adjunct with medical treatment of the condition. Besides applying pressure on specific points in hands and feet, reflexology may also include the application of pressure to specific points on the face and ears of the patient. It is recommended to seek treatment from a professional reflexologist in order to get the best results. However, a fibromyalgia patient may choose to apply the techniques him/herself at home or letting a family member or friend do the same for him/her. In such a case, it is important to learn the application of particular techniques for specific kinds of symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. |
