Handling Fibromyalgia With the Touch of Reflexology and Herbs

 Whether it was your nervous system, an overloaded immune system, a virus, an hormonal and emotional breakdown or too much prolonged stress, your body has changed and you have fibromyalgia. 

Reflexology will stimulate the internal organs and glands, nervous system, muscular system and immune system, when pressure is applied to the reflexes in the feet. This promotes a healing response in the body, reducing tension, congestion, inflammation, and easing the symptoms of fibromyalgia- aches and pains, constipation or diarrhea, mucus conditions and fatigue. It is extremely relaxing to the nervous system and clients usually report sleeping more deeply for several nights after one reflexology session. Reflexology will also help determine if an underactive thyroid is the underlying cause of ongoing pain and inflammation. Both reflexology and herbs will be used to return the thyroid to proper functioning.

Herbs are enormously supportive for providing relief. A formula will include herbs to strengthen the nervous system Herbs which  reduce inflammation and cleanse the toxic elements in the blood and liver will be included to reduce sore muscles and aches in the body, particular herbs for the colon and lungs will be considered.

There’s no doubt that other lifestyle changes need to be made. Healthy, alkaline, nutritious food must replace empty fast foods; rest and time out from stress must be sought. Change can be difficult so I make it as easy as possible.   I provide a ‘super foods’ list and have a cookbook to make this easy. I also advocate the use of music, aroma, visualization and uplifting reading for ways to balance our entire body, mind and spirit and I provide ideas for these, too.

You don’t have time?  Your body will make you sick enough until you have no choice!

If we listen to our bodies, they tell us what we need to do to get well.  Yes, they are telling us to change our jobs, change our careers or ask for counseling to deal with emotional situations. The journey to wellness is a journey of self-help, self-discovery and self-actualization. It can be the most rewarding journey you will ever take.
