Trying to fall pregnant? Try reflexology!
Although it might seem like you’ve tried everything to boost your fertility, have you ever thought about reflexology?
Women who are struggling to conceive may find reflexology instrumental in assisting them in falling pregnant.
We take a look at how reflexology, which puts pressure on reflex points, is said to stimulate or restore the flow of energy within your body. This, it’s claimed, ensures you are in the best possible health to become pregnant.
What is reflexology?
In the feet, there are 7000 nerve endings. The ancient technique of reflexology connects these nerve endings to all of the body’s organs and systems. A reflexologist can help to release the flow of energy in organs and rebalance entire systems through skilled manipulation. It is a calming and relaxing treatment that is usually applied to the foot.
How can feet help you become more fertile?
Reflexology, when combined with nutrition and lifestyle modifications, can help to eliminate toxins from the body, balance hormones, and reduce stress in preparation for conception. The rise in infertility is associated with our lack of alignment with nature. By using natural techniques to re-balance the body fertility can be re-established – as nature intended.
Reflexology can help to increase sperm count, too
It’s important to mention that it’s not only the women who benefit from reflexology but their partners too. Men also suffer from stress and worries and that can, coupled with poor diet and lack of exercise reduce the quality and quantity of their sperm. During reflexology, your partner’s breathing will slow, blood pressure will drop, and tension will ease, allowing the body’s innate healing ability space to work.
Good to know: While there are no double-blind clinical trials that support reflexology as an aid to fertility, couples who have reflexology to aid conception feel more relaxed, more in control, and feel they have more perspective on a very stressful process in their lives.
