Or, it might feel like you stuck a needle in your thumb. You can do this in the middle of the night if you wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep. Do both thumbs, holding each for 45 seconds, 2 or 3 times a day.
Colds and Flu: Head and Sinuses Reflexes This is great for any kind of congestion and often helps immediately. The fingers are the reflexes for the head and sinuses. Press and rub from the base of each finger to the tip. Do this on each finger on both hands a few times, 3 or 4 times a day, or as needed. The side of the thumb down to the wrist is the spine reflex.
Press with the flat of the opposite thumb, inching along from the top of the thumb down to the wrist. For professional reflexologists we use a special thumb-walking technique, but this also works. Do this on both hands; go down this area 3 or 4 times, 3 or 4 times a day. The reflexes for the ovaries and uterus are on the sides of the wrist. Grasp your wrist with your thumb and forefinger forming a circle. Twist the opposite hand.
This also applies to men — instead of ovaries and the uterus reflexes, you are targeting the prostate and testes. Clients often report feeling invigorated and energized immediately. Twist your wrist 20 times or so and then do the opposite wrist, 2 or 3 times a day. Related Videos. True Beauty Winner: Barbara Burke.

Take a moment to enjoy your relaxed state. Often the reflexologist will recommend that you drink water and rest as necessary following treatment. Different reactions following the reflexology session are normal. You may experience increased energy, relief from pain or other symptoms, tiredness, increased mucus, enhanced sleep, and heightened emotions.
Reflexology feels different to each person. Generally, clients feel relaxed and sometimes even fall asleep during a treatment. Other normal reactions to reflexology include increased sweating in the hands or feet, light-headedness, increased emotions, thirst, coughing, and exhaustion. Clients may feel slight pain when muscle groups that are being stimulated contract. When sensitive reflex points are activated, it may feel like a bruise, comforting pressure, and warmth in the corresponding area of the body.
Your practitioner will advise how often you should receive treatment based on your health concerns and wellness goals. However, because the benefits of reflexology are more subtle and build over time, having frequent sessions is advised, especially if you are new to the practice. A general recommendation is to schedule an appointment once a week for the first six to eight weeks, then to schedule follow-up appointments every few weeks after that. Learn more about reflexology in the Holistic Health Guide or find a practitioner in your area using the Health Provider Directory.
Agree with the responses below. THough if you are starting the treatment for a condition, then would suggest you have a course of 6 treatments and then every fortnightly and then once a month. Regular treatments will help with general health wellbeing. I have it done every fortnight.
It's great for your immune system; it detoxes the body; helps release endorphins and is deeply relaxing. Hello Vicky, With my clients who take complementary therapies regularly, I advise them to have a Reflexology treatment at least once a month as this allows me to check whats going on with them internally! Hope this helps. When a client has their first reflexology session I prepare a very detailed chart of their feet prior to starting the treatment.
This chart is then used as a measure on each visit to ascertain any visible improvements the treatment is having. Along with what I can see from the chart and after the first session is over I will then recommend how often they should have the treatment.
As a general rule of thumb this is usually weekly for between four to six weeks, after which it may be reduced to fortnightly or even monthly visits as a maintenance programme. It very much depends on the clients health and how they feel. However, someone with a chronic condition may still wish to attend weekly even though they are feeling better in themselves. I also have clients who use reflexology alongside other treatments - typcially massage or Metamorphic Technique.
Of course reflexology is such a lovely treatment, purely for relaxation purposes, that if you can afford it then have a treatment as often as you can!! I would recommend weekly if you can afford it. It depends too on your underlying health story and whether you are suffering from any particular chronic conditions.
