The benefits of Pre-Conception Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of complementary health therapy that is aimed at restoring and maintaining the equilibrium of the body. There are various ways in which reflexology can help people, with one of the most popular being to assist in conception and the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy.
How is reflexology performed?
Reflexology is based on the theory that different areas on the feet, lower leg, hands, face and ears correspond with other areas of the body, and so if you manipulate a certain area then effects will be achieved elsewhere. This allows a reflexology practitioner to make changes to parts of the body that cannot usually be accessed, i.e. internal systems.
Can reflexology aid conception?
Research has found that reflexology can have a positive impact in various ways, both on the road to becoming pregnant and throughout the pregnancy. The practice of reflexology takes a holistic approach with the aim of improving the chances of a couple conceiving a healthy baby.
How does pre-conception reflexology work?
The holistic approach taken by Andrea ensures that couples have the maximum chance of conceiving. Pre-conception reflexology is a therapy that involves both partners. By involving both partners, the impact of reflexology is increased and the chances of a successful pregnancy are elevated.
One of the major ways that reflexology helps couples to conceive is by relaxing the body and, very importantly, the mind so that every part of the persons system can be prepared to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Having a natural and healthy body is the best way to achieve a successful pregnancy. By achieving a balanced internal system a woman will be creating a perfect environment for a viable pregnancy to develop. Reflexology can assist in looking at nutritional elements and ridding toxins from the body, including unwanted hormones. Hormone imbalances can have a major impact on a couple’s chance of conceiving and so balancing hormones is an important part of the journey to becoming pregnant.
Pre-conception reflexology goes further than simply helping couples to conceive. When pregnant, a woman’s immune system is lowered and it can become easier to catch infections which can be dangerous and cause miscarriage. Reflexology can boost the immune system which will leave the pregnant woman better protected and healthy throughout the pregnancy.
The role of stress
It is a fairly well-known fact that stress can have a detrimental impact both on conceiving and on maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Reflexology is an extremely relaxing and calming therapy which is excellent for de-stressing and ensuring that a person enjoys some relaxation time.
A pre-conception reflexology plan will not only relax both partners, it will also look at the home environment in which they are living to ensure that the good work achieved by Andrea is enhanced by a calming and relaxing home environment.
