How Reflexology can help with Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms.
Menopause and perimenopause can be accompanied by anxiety, mood swings, and feelings of depression. By calming the nervous system and promoting deep relaxation, reflexology can help lower stress levels and boost mood. Some studies have also shown that reflexology can reduce the perception of pain by influencing how the brain registers it.
Hot flashes and night sweats: Research has shown that reflexology can help decrease the severity and frequency of hot flashes and night sweats. By helping to calm the central nervous system, reflexology may help regulate the body's temperature.
Improved sleep: Insomnia and disturbed sleep are common complaints during menopause. By inducing a state of relaxation and regulating the nervous system, reflexology can improve sleep quality and patterns.
Hormonal balance: Reflexology aims to support the endocrine system, which includes the glands that regulate hormones, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and ovaries. By stimulating the corresponding reflex points, reflexology seeks to balance hormones, which can help alleviate many menopausal symptoms.
Pain relief: The fluctuations in hormones during menopause can sometimes lead to increased joint and muscle pain. By triggering the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, reflexology may help relieve this discomfort.
Enhanced circulation: By improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage, reflexology can help the body remove metabolic waste and support better tissue nourishment. This can contribute to better immune function and overall vitality.
Digestive support: Reflexology can aid digestion by stimulating reflex points linked to the digestive system, which may help relieve issues like bloating or constipation that can occur during menopause.
