Reflexology for balancing hormones
Reflexology for balancing hormones
By stimulating specific points linked to the endocrine system, ovaries, and uterus, reflexology for balancing hormones can help influence the production and release of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and oxytocin. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and overall reproductive health.
Hormonal imbalances can lead to a variety of menstrual issues, including irregular periods and PMS symptoms,Reflexology aims to bring a natural hormone balance by:
- Promoting blood flow: Gentle pressure on reflex points can increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs, potentially aiding in hormone regulation and delivery.
- Stimulating the nervous system: The parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for relaxation and stress reduction, can be stimulated through reflexology. This can help counteract the negative effects of stress hormones on the menstrual cycle.
- Releasing endorphins: The feel-good hormones released during reflexology sessions can not only improve mood but also potentially influence the hormonal balance.
- Easing PMS symptoms: By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, reflexology can potentially alleviate symptoms like cramps, mood swings, and bloating.
Regulating the Rhythm:
Research on the effectiveness of reflexology for regulating periods is still ongoing. However, some studies have shown promising results. For example, a study published in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that reflexology helped regulate menstrual cycles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

After having my second child, my hormones went crazy. Kathryn told me how reflexology can help extend the days between my periods. I was a little skeptical at first, but after having reflexology on a weekly basis the gap between my periods went from 17 days to 26. It has been life changing!
