How can reflexology help auto immune disorders?

Auto immune disorders result when your immune system is over active, causing it to attack and damage your own body. Normally, your immune system creates antibodies that work to protect you against harmful substances such as viruses, cancer cells and toxins. But with auto immune disorders, your immune system can’t tell the difference between invaders and healthy cells. Doctors have identified over 100 different auto immune conditions. It’s not clear exactly what causes or triggers them. Treatment usually focuses on reducing immune system activity.

How can reflexology help?

Reflexology can help to balance and calm down an overactive immune system. This is one of the most complex and important systems in the body, comprising of lymph glands, lymph nodes, the thymus gland, tonsils, spleen and white blood cells. A reflexology treatment for auto immune conditions will target all of these points to encourage a calming effect on the immune system. Focus will also be on calming the nervous system and adrenal glands. Lymphatic drainage is also beneficial for clients with auto immune conditions to flush toxins from the body. Other systems may also benefit such as skeletal, muscular, endocrine (hormones) depending on the clients needs.
