Today is the World Day Cancer - 4th of February.
It is crazy how this condition has been impacted the life of millions of people all over the world and I would like to present my sympathy to anyone who is or has been concerned, patients & careers.
Fortunately, the medical research is always in progress. It is also a fact that complementary therapies and in particular reflexology can help in different way.
Indeed, numerous researches have shown how reflexology can support people suffering with cancer, helping them with the self-regulating process of the body (homeostasis), with the symptoms of the disease and with the side effects of treatments.
The inventory of researches, analysis and studies would be too long in this post, but here is a little idea from Google Scholar presenting some of them:
https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=inventory+of+research+on+cancer+and+reflexology&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart
I would like to add that not every reflexologist is trained for supporting people suffering with cancer.
I am myself a Level 5 qualified reflexologist with a specialism in palliative care and I deal regularly with patients and carers concerned by oncology care. I also try to use the compassion and psychological support from the social worker I was before, to help the best I can during these difficult moments of life.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question. Take care of you
