REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENTS AND ESSENTIAL OILS and how this helps
With Arthritis in hands and body
Reflexology is a non invasive complimentary therapy that can help manage Arthritis in your hands and feet by Reducing pain, stimulating the nervous system
Improving circulation as helps to reduce stiffness and lowering stress and improves blood and lymph circulation
Stress reduction helps manage emotional toll on chronic pain, improves sleep and wellbeing
Key points
Hands
Focus on base of thumb ( neck and upper body) palm core organs
Feet Target the ball of the foot, toes, and Ankle areas to relieve pain and improve circulation
With my professional reflexology sessions which typically last for 1 hour
Starting with a general foot massage and Relaxation exercise to help the feet and body to relax down, i then target other pressure points to specific areas to help that individual client
Self care
I advise also to my clients at end of each session to have plenty of water to replenish and go home and relax as much as possible to get the most out of their treatment
Oils to use for Arthritis in hands/ feet
Ginger
Known to help as it has anti imflammatory and working properties and Ginger also is highly effective in reducing joint pain and general relaxation and well being
Lavendar
For joint pain and relaxation
Peppermint
Cooling sensation for pain relief by acting on muscles and nerves and improves circulation
Bergemont

You can use one or more essential oils in each session with a carrier oil
I would use Jojaba as my carrier oil as mimics natural oil
