In Reflexology all the reflexes are worked in the feet that correspond to every gland, organ, and part of the body so all the body systems become balanced. The lymphatic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nervous system reflexes are located throughout the feet. The endocrine system and nervous system are worked on the feet as these systems maintain homeostasis (balance). The adrenal glands modify stress and inflammation and the solar plexus promotes relaxation. When you receive a reflexology session, the entire body is worked through the feet. Autumn is a time when people are affected by allergies, colds, and flu. The respiratory system, including sinuses, throat, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm are worked on the feet. This work helps alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu, and sinus congestion. The immune and lymphatic systems, which includes lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils and adenoids, help with allergies, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Reflexology is a great way to maintain balance in the body.
