Reflexology and Mental Health

Good mental health may be described as a balanced and healthy attitude towards life. Mental health issues arise for many reasons including trauma, change of circumstances, bereavement, chronic stress and physical illness. When suffering with mental illness, we often feel very alone, hopeless and overwhelmed.

Reflexology aids mental health by stimulating the nervous and lymphatic systems, encouraging a release of the feel-good hormones ‘endorphins,’ which help to relieve stress, the body’s natural coping mechanism. In the feet, there are reflex areas corresponding to all the parts of the body and these areas are arranged in such a way as to form a map of the body in the feet with the right foot corresponding to the right side of the body and the left foot corresponding to the left side of the body. By having the whole body represented in the feet, the method offers a means of treating the whole body and of treating the body as a whole. This latter point is an important factor of a natural therapy and allows not only symptoms to be treated but also the causes of symptoms.
