Reflexology And The Common Cold


Reflexology And The Common Cold. If you are suffering from symptoms of the common cold: head and nasal congestion, sore throat, coughing, headache, sneezing and watery eyes, you may have been told that you will just have to wait it out.

I am here to tell you otherwise. The common cold is an infection of the upper respiratory system caused by a virus. Contrary to what you may have been told, cold weather does not cause colds, although most are caught in fall and winter seasons.

This is because viruses thrive in cold weather and low humidity. Americans spend more than one billion dollars every year on nonprescription medicines for coughs and colds. However, these products provide temporary relief and in no way address the root of the problem.

What can you do about the symptoms of the common cold? There are some easy and effective holistic treatments that do alleviate symptoms. If you are unfamiliar with reflexology, here are the basics and how it can help you get control of your health.

Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure in a strategic manner to areas of the feet and hands, and even the face and ears. Reflexologists see the hands and feet as an open door to the bodies systems. Each section of the feet and hands correlate to a specific organ.

By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, you can stimulate blood flow and eliminate toxin buildup in the corresponding organs and systems of the body. And because reflexology works to put the body in a state of well-being, it is beneficial to every system in the body.

Although reflexologists cannot diagnose or claim to cure a sickness or disease, the results speak for themselves, making it one of the most sought after treatments today.

Quick Reflexology Fact

It is pretty safe to say that the more flexible you are, the more clientele you will attract. For example, if you will work nights to accommodate schedules, or make house calls, you are setting yourself up for a favorable amount of business. Furthermore, by offering services such as "self help seminars" where you teach your clients how to do some of the basic techniques, complimented with say aromatherapy or herbal treatments; you add instant value and credibility to your practice.


In fact, celebrities pay an arm and a leg for just a few minutes of reflexology.

Not only because it is a beneficial tool for relaxation and stress relief, but it is also an effective tool for improving circulation, relieving pain, and as an immune and nervous system stimulator. In fact, many people with illnesses such as allergies; chronic sinus problems and frequent colds; acid reflux; migraines; PMS; menopause; insomnia; fertility problems and even arthritis have been helped tremendously by reflexology treatments.  


As far as cold symptoms are concerned, you can alleviate symptoms by working specific areas of the feet. In doing so, mucus and will drain from the nose and sinuses.
 
It will also break up congestion in the chest and eliminate waste material. Furthermore, facial reflexology, developed by the Vietnamese, can also alleviate the same symptoms, and in some cases even quicker than foot therapy. 
 

Tension headaches and stiffness in neck and shoulders are likely to disappear after a few reflexology treatments as a result of the increased sense of well being and a better blood flow.


If you suffer from frequent colds and flu symptoms, you owe it to yourself to seek the expertise of a trained reflexologist. When you get to the root of the problem, you will recover much quicker than if you simply mask the problem. Once you try reflexology, chances are you will be hooked when you witness the affects for yourself.
